No, BUT... in case of any threat, stationms exist for fitting
self-defence weapons. Usually .50 cal mgs and numerous (12+)
Laser-guided Anti-Aircraft Missiles (RBS-70) which are very effective
in a naval environment, though you pay for it in maintenance.

Only when needed. Plans will exist for fitting an autonomous NULKA
system (hovering rocket), but most smart and difficult-to-jam Anti-ship
missiles will filter it out as it moves too quick so must be a decoy
helo...

Looks good in Pacific Grey (actually more a Duck-egg Green).
