Archerfish

   The Archerfish Class Patrol Combatant, Missile is small, agile, stealthy and insanely easy to mass produce.  The Archerfish Class carries 48 missiles, launched from 6 tubes.  It is designed to use "ambush predator" tactics, rather than to go "yardarm-to-yardarm".  The class carries a crew of 12, plus 12 concubines who are treated largely as regular crew.  To supplement its on-board passive sensors, it also carries three Remora-class self-propelled sensor packages.  The basic design consists of four pods in tandem in front of a pair of engines, all covered by a protective shell that provides both armor and stealth protection - the resultant ship strongly resembles the old 1890's Holland submarine.
