Hellfire Longbow fitted to the US Navy's Cyclone Class Patrol Ships.
I had to Necro this thread to point out that AT munitions have finally "gone to sea." The Navy's Cyclone Patrol Ships have been fitted with a special Mid-Ship launcher containing 6 Stinger AA missiles and 2 Quad-Launchers for the Hellfire Longbow laser guided munition (for 8 missiles in total). It also sports two Gun Mounts (one forward, one aft) containing BOTH a 40mm Mark19 Grenade Launcher and a 25mm Chaingun in a "co-axle" arrangement. There are also several mounts for .50 caliber and .30 caliber machineguns situated around the ship. Other upgrades being considered are a 30mm Cannon or twin 25mm Chainguns.
The Cyclones (serving in the Gulf right now) could be an interesting game add. With an overall Length of 55 meters, a Width of 7.6 meters and a draft of 2.3 meters; they are not that big. The crew is 24 enlisted and 4 officers. There are 8 spare berths and she can sail for 2500 nautical miles on her 4 diesels (multifuel).
