Type M Gunboat

This 51m full working interior gunboat is based on the German M Class Minesweeper, but also takes a few creative liberties. The ship makes just under 40kn on 2 large electric motors powered by 4 diesel engines. Her purpose is as a light gunboat and mine layer, but can perform other duties like convoy raiding and fleet screening. She is painted in a Baltic scheme designed to confuse allied rangefinders and submarines.

Starting:
In order to start the ship, enter the engine rooms, located at midships on the lowest deck.
Turn on the Diesel Engines, then throttle up the electric motors.
Head up to the Bridge, Conning Tower, or Flying Bridge and move the clutch throttle.

Radar and Sonar:
To use the radar and sonar, head to the Combat Information Center (CIC) located at the base of the superstructure.
Turn on the breaker and sit in the seat provided
Then follow the labelled controls to use the radar and sonar sets

Magazines:
Located on the Lowest deck both fore and aft of the engine rooms are the magazines, which house a reasonable amount of 105mm ammunition
To bring shells up to the ready rooms, place a shell in the elevator (painted grey) and press the appropriately labelled button.
If for some reason the magazine is on fire, you can flood them with use of a button located in the Damage Control Center (DCC) found mid deck in the bow.

Weapons:
The ship is armed with a plethora of ordinance to deal with any threat that comes its way. All turrets are WASD controlled, and have 1st person sights. The other weapons systems are button controlled. The armament the Type M carries are as follows:

- 2x 105mm Mounts for the main anti shipping and shore bombardment work. The cannon can function with a crew of 1 but a crew of 2 is needed for optimal loading and firing. One gun is mounted fore on the bow and the other on the stern.

- 2x 37mm Dual Purpose Mounts for both short to medium anti aircraft work and light anti shipping work. This auto cannon can be operated by 1 man easily and its rate of reload can be increased with a second crew member. One turret is mounted just fore of the bridge and the other just aft of the funnel.

- 1x Quad 20mm Mount for short range anti aircraft work. This turret can be operated effectively by one man and features ready ammo nearby. It is located just fore of the stern 105mm Mount.

- 2x Single 20mm Mount for short range anti aircraft work. This turret can be operated effectively by one man and features ready ammo nearby. It are located both port and starboard atop the main superstructure.

- 2x 750mm Torpedo for anti shipping work. The torpedoes are single shot medium warhead weapons ideal to be used under 30kn. They are located in fixed mounts angled outward and are aimed by use of the rudder. They fire in a straight line and have a minimum use range of 50-100m. Both are located midships port and starboard.

- 12x 125cm Mk XXI Naval Mine (added by user). These mines are an additional extra that can be added when needed, they work by pressing a button over the selected drop area, once deployed the mines sit just below the surface waiting for another ship to make contact with it, when it will promptly detonate with enough explosive to sink most ship. These are located on the rails on the stern more details on the specified page.
