Major Po and his band of merry murderers captured an operational Shershen (sans torpedo tubes) near Warsaw. IIRC it was the flagship of a river pirate fleet. The party fabricated limpet mines and the Navy SEAL PC attached them to the hulls of some of the other vessels, then they conducted a night-time raid as the mines went off and slaughtered the Shershen's crew.
They didn't have it for long. They failed to bluff their way past a WarPac unit garrisoning a bridge further down the Vistula and the Shershen was shot to pieces.
