Description

The Calipso class Laboratory Ship is a variant on the standard Type L Laboratory Ship, although it shares much in common with them. Based on the 400 ton hull, it has slighlty less laboratory space but boasts greater cargo capacity. It can remain deployed without resupply much longer and houses a second air/raft, reducing reliance on the onboard pinnace.
