#4 ..I was under the impression that a lot of tehse smaller patrol boats have huge amounts of composite or GRP construction, which makes them a bit fragile out on the open ocean. OTOH, the crew of the Canadian SSK they helped rescue would probably gladly assist in the repairs.

#5 
The vessel is designed to patrol the EU zone adjacent to The Republic of Ireland to implement Fishery protection, conservation and management.

The vessel is designed for good sea-keeping qualities allied with top speed when desired plus an economical cruising speed of approximately 15 knots. The ship is of monohull design, its profile streamlined in appearance and functional in design with a single funnel positioned aft of amidships.

The vessel is capable of surviving in wind force 12 and Sea State 9.

#6 I would just like to take this moment to thank Canada and Ireland for not f*cking up participating in the invasion of Iraq.

#7 If there were heavy seas involved, I still would have preferred a berth on the LÉ Róisín vice the surfaced submarine. That would have been a barf fest.
