The G-60a Patrol Boat, nicknamed the Manta, is an extremely resiliant and quick craft. It's used primarily by the Normatican Coast Guard in large rivers and along calmer coastlines against pirates, and on some occasions, assisting in naval operations alongside the Normatican Navy as a light gunboat. Armed with a gatling gun in a remote controlled turret that covers 360°* around itself (Right Joystick), and whatever small arms the three man crew has on them. The main propulsion is three jet engines, two acting as an afterburner of sorts (Landing Gear), and four small water jets along the corners that help turn the craft on a dime while sitting still.
Besides the exceptional propulsion and armorment, the exterior of the hull is made of fiberglass, and the interior made of aluminium (The hull is mostly hollow, excluding the crew area, and space taken up by cooling equipment for the engines). The portions around the jet engines are made of both steel and aluminium.
The primary issues of the Manta is it's propulsion, the open jet engines, and it being flat bottomed. These two combinations mean's it's not a viable ship for the open ocean. The flat bottom combined with the waves would make an extremely unpleasant ride for the crew, and a wave into the exhaust of the engines or the air intake wouldnt bode well for their condition.
Besides these downsides, the flat bottom helps the ship travel down shallow rivers, and move closer to shorelines than most other sea fairing vessels, and the jet engines help achieve higher speeds than a propeller driven ship.

Mkay, if your here, go look at the one that's up. It's more complete than this one, and it's listed on the site for everyone weirdo's.
