Additional Information |
2nd patrol craft [PS] of the >River Class< (4 vessels, also see >HMS Mersey<) - main armament: 1x 20-mm AA gun Oerlikon GAM B01, 2x 7.62-mm machine gun - these vessels are employed in the Fishery Protection role primarily - in operational terms, one of the major innovations is a large working cargo deck that allows the ships to be equipped with specific facilities for a particular role, such as disaster relief, anti-pollution, fire fighting, rescue work or interception of other vessels - a heavy crane with capacity for 25 tonnes is therefore fitted to handle standard containers |
