Pretty much she is being used to test several of the latest technologies as far as speed, manuvering and deployment capability. IMO Azipods will soon find their way into the modern navy. You cant have a litorial presence if you cant manuver at speed.

Litorial waters meaning smaller bodies of water, rivers etc. You may also here the term "brown water navies" as in being the same.

Looks like a really nice patrol boat, along the lines of the RAN's Armidale class and about the same size.

The forward gun mounting even seems to be an Isreali Typhoon mounting like the Armidales!!
