Less firepower than a PT Boat, but very whizzy. It’s main mission is to intimdate people in motor launches, ensure the safety of procurement officers and maintain the steady employment of contractors.

Literally, if this thing ran into a little WWII era destroyer escort, it would be doomed, with no way to fight back. (except of course, it could run away) Sounds like a Joke until you look at what most foreign navies drive around in.

It’s not even safe in the Carribean.

You seem to be missing the missiles with 40km range and 100+ pound warheads. I daresay it wouldn’t take too many too, perhaps as few as one, to at least get a mission kill on a DE.
