[For some reason, likely that Unity Update, Gestour's Ocean Designer Mod does this whenever I load the designer, so I have to use the older ISC BG Water 1 by ian8811946]

Ostpreußen Royal Navy O.07a(Patrol Craft)
"Užava Class PT"
The most common ship in the Ostpreußen Royal Navy, as well as the most relatively effective in large numbers.

Hull
The hull used for the O.07a(PT) has roots in 1920's light freighters, but heavily uparmored to act as a heavy patrol boat, as well as a simpler construction design.
The belt armor is 30mm of welded steel, while the remainimg sections of the hull is 15mm. The deck is made of steel (10mm), with wooden planks placed on top.
Overall, the hull is designed for the calmer, yet typically colder and iced waters of the Baltic Seas. While capable of crossing the Atlantic ocean, it isn't reccomend.

Superstructure
The superstructure of the O.07a(PT) is on the smaller scale, having to do with the scale of the ship and it's distant predecessor being of light freighter.
Despite this, there's enough room above the bridge and behind the smokestack for a 7,5,cm turret thats almost entirely encased in 15mm of welded RHA.
Alongside the main guns, there is a light machine gun mounted to a swiveling positionsin the crows nest, and two on the port and starboard railings to attack any aircraft.

Versatility
The O.07a(PT) is meant to be used as a heavier light attack boat, alongside coastaly patrol boat for coast guard duties. Thanks to the [undefined] 800hp engine below the B turret, the ship is capable of 30 knots, meaning it's capapble of moving ahead of larger ships and attack from angles their larger and slower guns can't keep up with.

Note from Vault
Hah, so yeah, I've finally got one of the ships out.
I was building on this one since last night pretty much, and while it definitely wasn't in that forum post that I teased two days ago, this is more of a show of the kinda detail I can put into them.
