By smaller craft, I mean much smaller craft—things the Coast Guard would call boats, not cutters. These ships would be intended for operations throughout the Bay Area, including the Napa River, the Petaluma River, the Delta, the Sacramento River, the San Joaquin River, and other rivers emptying into SF Bay. Some of them would be armored rather like gun trucks.
