Interceptor Patrol Boat Denebola, PI-1134
Looking lean, mean, and ready for action.
The Denebola (PI-1134) is an Interceptor patrol boat belonging to the Guardia Costa which I believe is Mexico's answer to our Coast Guard.
The Denebola a class of fast military assault craft used by several countries after being originally developed for the Swedish Navy by Dockstavarvet. Its name means Combat Boat 90 Half; the 90 refers to the year of acceptance (1990) and Half refers to the fact that it can carry and deploy a half platoon of amphibious infantry (18 men). These are the same craft we here in the US would call a Riverine Command Boat.

Saw her docked in Huatulco Mexico and had to get a shot. Of course, Niccy was worried that I was going to get shot for taking a picture of her.
Her fear comes from a little incident we had in Calais France at the ferry terminal a few years ago. To be honest, I really don't think he was planning to shoot me, just scare me a bit.
