US NAVY Ocean Master 31's on Diego Garcia

The US Navy has a fleet of Ocean Master 31's stationed on the naval base at Diego Garcia. These boats are run year-round in all conditions (the Navy is NOT known for "babying" it's boats). The Ocean Masters have over 300,000 miles on them!

Master Chief Petty Officer Brian Limer, a serviceman in the Navy stationed at Diego Garcia, chartered one of the 31's up to three times a week for the year he was based at Diego Garcia. Said Brian "Until just recently, the Navy did not adhere to changing stages in weather. The captains were ordered to run the charters in all weather conditions."
