Watersnake River Patrol Boat

Description: The "Watersnake" Class River Patrol Boat (RPBs for short) are a short to medium range multipurpose anti-surface and anti-air vessel boasting an ultra economical design costing only 13,000* smackaroos. With a no expense wasted type of design it also features the world's most powerful 3 cylinder triple turbo and super charged diesel engine ripped straight from a fishing trawler featuring 472HP and the ship uses all of this power to achieve speeds of almost 40m/s*, and due to the unique hull shape the ship is extremely agile able to turn to a harrowing 55 degree listing angle to tighten turns and lower the profile of the ship in the water making it harder to hit and to ensure successful deployment of the main armament.

Armament: This ship is equipped 24 "Fang" small gauge multipurpose missiles that are ideal for engaging light-surface or air targets (Squirrel proof*: Warranty void if lost due to Squirrels), The Ships Secondary armament includes two sets of 60mm "duchs" multi-role auto cannons that are manually reloaded from the magazine racks underneath each gun and charged with the large grey handles, at their rear. The odd plate at the back is where the gunner is strapped to the gun to ensure his safety in the heat of battle.

Crew Accommodations: This fine ship houses the best of the bare minimum for a sailor to stay sane with four 2m metal bunks, a table and chairs, a sink, stove, and a lavish toilet that dumps straight into the sea. The Watersnake also features an engine/store room housing the ship's fusebox and transmission.

*Radio Crackles* "I set out to unite the Eriwick! To bring down the tower of thieving scandalous fools who run our Eriwick into the ground for through their own wealth and greed. They took everything from me, my Family, my ship, and my life. Join The Eriwick Liberation Party and take back the freedom that was robbed from us. Those fools think they can extort us through their lies and deceit! WRONG! The spirit of the Eriwick lies in rebellion, not the bellies of those so called, "lords". Their filth and degeneracy must come to an end! I call upon every man, woman, and child against those who rob, extort, and lie their way to the very top. Follow me!! I will make sure every one of their heads lie impaled on a pike! A great unification must occur, to show the true might of the Eriwick and the tenacity of our people against those who denigrate us, push us aside, and strip us of our livelihoods and put our lives with Davy Jone's Locker!" -Emil "River Rat" Jacobson
