U.S. Marines to Embark On Australian-Made Boat
12/14/2023

SYDNEY — In early 2024, U.S. Marines will get their first taste of the Whiskey Bravo, a twin-engine, tactical reconnaissance boat designed and built by a veteran-owned Australian defense company.

Under a $12.5 million Defense Innovation Unit contract, The Whiskey Project will deliver an upgraded version of its current 11.7-meter-long Bravo model boat for testing by the Marine Corps.

The boat was designed by Australian navy veterans who experienced and witnessed career-ending injuries on existing small craft, Darren Schuback, CEO of The Whiskey Project, said on the sidelines of the Indo Pacific 2023 International Maritime Exposition in Sydney.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
