There's no such thing as "nothing left to draw" If you can down 10 pints and draw, you're doing alright by my standards

It is, but aparently, Norway plans to aquire a few for the kystvakt... :)


Anyways, as stated in the OP, this is just for practice. I don't really care whether or not it's already been made, as this is for practice.Thanks for all the comments though ^^

That'll be interesting. Australian Tropics do not really match the temperate/polar Norwegian climate. I suppose some modification will done to heating systems and such

I'm sure the Norwegians would indeed modify the internal systems a bit. Where I live, he temperatures are much like those in Britain; mild winters and cool summers, so I'm guessing the Armidale could operate just fine without any major changes. My guess of where it would operate is anywhere in the Oslofjord or where I live up to about Bergen to protect the oil industry here, so like I said earlier, it wouldn't really need any drastic changes... :)

Makes sense, but the Armidales here works mainly in temperatures of 25-40 Celsius so some insulation might be needed internally

Thats very true. Perhaps they'd either extend the hull by a few centimeters to accomodate the insulation. Or they'd make the little boat cramped as hell XD

It would be nice to see an Australian designed patrol boat serve out of the pacific (seeing that Malaysia pulled out :( )

Why'd they pull out? I thikn that most pacific countries would be supplied by korea or the US, don't you think? As far as I know of, Aussies don't really have much of the market where this kind of equipment is concerned.

Then again, I could be wrong...
