A Mark VI patrol boat assigned to Commander, Task Force 56 prepares for a towing exercise with a coastal patrol ship in May 2020 in the Arabian Gulf. Here a shot line, attached to a messenger line, has been fired from the coastal patrol ship, which is about to be received by the Mark VI patrol boat. Attached to the messenger line is the coastal patrol boat’s tow cable, which will be secured to the anchor chain of the patrol boat for towing. The towing is done to allow the Mark VI patrol boat to operate deeper into the Arabian Gulf, enhancing the Task Force’s overall capabilities by leveraging the longer range and bigger firepower of the coastal patrol boat, with the faster and more maneuverable Mark VI patrol boat. Both boats gain experience in close-quarter maneuvering challenges during towing while adding the capabilities of the Mark VI to the Task Force’s mission in the Arabian Gulf.
