As usual, FJAG, in the Navy it's always about the mission you are there to fulfill.
MCDV are primarily underwater warfare vessels, and mine warfare vessels more specifically. Their equipment and armement are optimized for mapping of bottom of ocean objects, and then analyzing, classifying and destroying them. As a secondary role, they are capble of support to other governement department for constabulary duties (fisheries, drug interdiction, security boardings of merchant vessels), something for which their speed and armement is appropriate.
P.S.: The MCDV's are ships - S-H-I-P-S - not "boats".
