Mosquito2 class Merchant Destroyer

HOME ¦ BACK ¦ TOP ¦ BOTTOM | MENU ¦ COMMENT

The Mosquito2 class merchant raider drops the limited armor and the capture bay, and adds two more ship's boats and some more staterooms and low berths. I also added a backup computer. The "cargo" space goes up by almost three times, but the total open space drops quite a bit. The original Mosquito class had quite a bit of stateroom and low berth space for prisoners, so this version just adds a bit more.

COMMENTS
The Mosquito2 class Merchant Destroyer is designed to capture small
merchant vessels to strip them of cargo and other valuables.  This
design has enough armament to overcome most ships in the 400 ton or
smaller range.  The 16 member marine team allows boarding and capture
of most smaller vessels, and they use the four ship's boats when
required.  A full two frozen watches allow for prize crews and
replacement of battle injuries.  The design includes several extra
staterooms and low berths to accomodate prisoners (as many as 56
"awake" prisoners at a time if the crew goto double-occupancy).
