U.S. donates patrol boats to Jamaica
The United STates has donated two interceptor patrol boats to the Jamaica Defense Force as part of the U.S. Southern Command 'Enduring Friendship' initiative.
The 43-foot vessels were handed over to Jamaican officials in a ceremony in Kingston. The vessels were described in a statement from the U.S. Embassy in Jamaica as 'top-of-the-line vessels fitted with the latest state-of-the-art communications and radar equipment.'
The U.S. will also provide $2.1 million in communications equipment as part of the package. That equipment will be delivered later this year.
