Description
With very few wet navy ships around, it was surprising to see a new design. On planets that it's surfaces contains large bodies of water where counter-insurgency operations and civilian shipping protection were required. Normally they would use land based hovercrafts or armed civilian ships, as they were quite inexpensive in comparison to designing and building a dedicated water craft. The Sea Skimmer uses a standard displace hull, with 3 mounted wings/foils that are lowered when the ship is traveling at high speed in excess of 190 kph.
Armament
With a turret mounted Coventry 4 Tube Missile System SRM-4 it allows of 360 degree field of fire, while the Sperry Browning Machine Guns are mounted on either port/starboard side and the stern to provide protection against infantry.
Variants
- Sea Skimmer (SRM) - This unofficial modification stripped out the Sperry Browning Machine Guns to replace them with SRM-2, also the turret mounted Coventry 4 Tube Missile System SRM-4 were also downgrade to SRM-2 to save room, and share ammunition. BV (2.0) = 381
