Could it be, the CB90 is in the discussion with the Navy Expeditionary Combat Command? The Small Unit Riverine Craft (SURC) the Navy inherited from the Marines appear to be wearing out, so the Navy is in the market for a replacement.
The CB90 (originally a Swedish design) would be a major upgrade, and would probably cost around 3 million US per if built by Safeboat. In my opinion, it is a good investment, one that finally would indicate the Navy is taking the Brown Water Navy role seriously.
