Sad state of affairs when these little revenue cutters are called Global Combat Ships.

Amen.

These are new? These plug-ugly scows look like they were built in Mexico around 1970.

I’m sorry. Did you read the article?

The new OPV’s will (probably) replace the ships you see in the picture and are nothing to do with the T26. What we’ll get will be a derivative of the River’s probably something like the Krabi we sold to Thailand. Bigger, more capable, so actually an improvement.

The CGS’ are something entirely different, see below;
