This is the ‘Walvis’ Naval Patrol Boat with a mounted SAM turret. Designed to be autonomously operated by the in-game Ai.

The ‘Walvis’ is fairly small, as its only function is to fight off enemy planes. The SAM turret automatically aims at the selected target. There are flares onboard, but no chaff.

Aircraft collisions have been turned off for the beacon mast, so there is minimal chance of the missiles hitting the ship. (In my testing I failed to do so, anyway.)

No clue if Gestour will be interested in using it. But I always wanted to build a small SAM ship anyway, so I just went ahead and did so.
