Inshore Boat Unit Sixteen
IBU 16
Inshore Boat Units are part of the Naval Coastal Warfare team. Inshore Boat Unit 16 supplies men and boats to conduct antiterrorism operations for U.S. maritime assets in littoral regions world-wide. These operations include force protection, harbor defense, protection of Maritime Prepositioning Force (MPF) ships, and coordination with Mobile Inshore Undersea Warfare Units (MIUW) for surveillance operations.
In August 2000, the unit relocated from Pensacola, FL to Long Beach, CA.
