Here is some info on the Defenders at BoatTest.com. I’m not sure how many differences, if any, there are from the USCG version.

Oh man, I want one of those…..
Iraq has 24 of those.
And the linked article is incorrect: It is a .30 Cal vice 30mm machine gun mount forward…

I confused the numbers with the smaller Fast Attack Boats that Iraq has already received.
Battleships!! Everyone fears the mighty Iraqi Navy!
