These boats have traveled trans-Atlantic on their own hulls. They have a radar profile like a wooden rowboat, and can go 60kts. They fire ship-killing missiles, and have a 76mm Oto Malera Super Rapid that can hit a building on land or a boat at sea at ten miles.

Like the Osprey, they are a “game changer” in their class. Like the Osprey, they are going to have a lot of teething pains.
