Was about to say, the Lesotho coast guard doesn’t have anything that good.

Lesotho doesn’t have a coast.
Then again, Switzerland is also landlocked, but they do have a navy.

Uh, that might have been the joke.

I know. I just wanted to bring up one of my favorite weird facts, the existence of the Swiss navy.
Senshi@lemmy.world 3 months ago
But it’s not really true. Switzerland has no naval branch of its armed forces.
It has a dozen or so of 10t patrol boats armed with a single 50cal MG for its lakes, and those are organized in a single motor boat company, which is staffed and manned by the military engineers branch.
Their duties are supporting the border guard (police) on the lakes against trespass/ smugglers and assisting (civilian) search& rescue.
