The TBD class Attack Boat is a warship.

Description (Specifications)

It is popular with crews for its maneuver speed and agility, this nimble escort had thick armor as its sole defense. The main changes for the 12E model upgrades, were increasing the power plant size and output, and upgrading the computer which had been appallingly bad for a military design. This meant that some armor plating had to be shed to make room and the cargo capacity shrunk as well. The nuclear weapons pod, and a particle accelerator bay were the main offensive punch for this design. A pair of beam lasers provided feeble point defense versus missiles. Within the autonomous region the short Jump-2 range was not seen as a liability for a defensive design, within range of so many excellent, friendly harbors.

Basic Ship Characteristics

Following the Imperial Navy and IISS Universal Ship Profile and data, additional information is presented in the format shown here. The small craft factor indicates the number of squadrons (...of ten subcraft) carried on the ship. Tonnage on the universal ship profile is shown in kilotons (...thousands of tons) where necessary.
