Overview.
In 3080, with the Clan Invasion of the Federated Suns forcing the AFFS to cut various projects in order to devote resources toward other areas, one of the projects put into jeopardy was the Cutlass-class patrol ship. Developed as an improved littoral combat vessel, the Cutlass uses advanced technologies to project accurate fire at a variety of ranges. Designed to handle multiple missions ranging from Maritime Security and Escort to Counter Piracy and Strike missions.
Capabilities.
The Cutlass was designed with a relatively shallow draft and a weight restriction of 100 tons in order to facilitate easy transport aboard most military dropships. Powered by a Marine Tech 270 Fusion engine which allows speeds of up to 54 kph, the Cutlass does not require frequent refueling as vessels equipped with internal combustion engines do.
The ship is protected by fifteen tons of SeaSlab/15 armor featuring Cellular Ammunition Storage Equipment in case of an ammunition explosion, allowing the crew a better chance for survival in the event of a catastrophe.
The ship’s weapon systems allow for a wide array of targets at multiple ranges to be engaged successfully. At the heart of the ship’s capabilities is a Sea Shot Arrow IV missile launcher, mounted in a vertical launch position near the bow of the ship, the system is capable of engaging both surface and aerial targets with a reasonable expectation of destructive accuracy.
In addition to the Sea Shot, the Cutlass mounts the Mydron Excel 5SG 50mm Autocannon in a turret ahead of the Sea Shot. Two tons of ammo allow for both standard and cluster munitions to be used against any target within range. For defensive firepower at close range, the Cutlass has five Exostar small pulse lasers, one mounted on the bow, stern, port and starboard arcs as well as one mounted co-axially with the 50mm autocannon.
For anti-submarine and surface ship engagement, the Cutlass utilizes the Sea Harvester Dual Fire short range torpedo system mounted broadside port and starboard fed from a fifty shot magazine. For anti-missile defense, the Cutlass mounts a Mainfire Point Defense System with the ability to fire twenty four bursts before being forced to reload.
Located at the stern of the vessel is a mine dispenser capable of laying up to thirty mines in the vessel’s wake and a remote sensor buoy dispenser used to search for submarines. Designed to operate either independently or in a large fleet, the Cutlass makes use of a C3 slave module in order to make use of targeting data from other friendly vessels in the network.
The Cutlass also has the capability to carry up to a platoon of marines or even a squad of battle armor depending upon the mission and deploy them as needed for boarding actions or shore parties.
Deployment.
The first 4-ship squadron of Cutlass-class patrol ships was delivered to the AFFS for initial testing in September of 3096 to patrol the waterways of New Avalon. After an extensive test period, the Cutlass entered into full production on the 1st of January, 3097.
Variants.
A single variant of the Cutlass has been constructed, switching out the infantry bay and C3 slave module for a C3 Master Computer.
