Re: Ship Stats Question

I think that the USCG uses the term cutter for a wide range of ships. I
know that
around the Great Lakes it is used for the 50-70' ships that are mainly
used for
SAR, and 100'+ ice breakers. I also had a chance to tour the Barbara
Morbtity as
it went through from the shipyards (Wisconsin, I think) to it's posting
in
Alabama. It was around 200'. and was used as a bouy tender, but had deck
mounts
for some guns if needed.

I'd say that the helicopter would fall under the FT/DS interface found
in MT.
Probably same sort of boarding/drop shuttle. My take would be:

Optionaly the Class-1 could be swapped for 1 PDS or 1 Mass Cargo
