The Sabre-class is an Arthuristan class of missile boats. It is the main combat vessel of the Arthuristan People's Navy Coastal Command. Operating in swarms, they form the cornerstone of the APN's sea-denial/counter-invasion force. The class's main armaments are its eight Boeing Harpoon or ACM-9 Hatchet anti-ship missiles, supplemented by an Oto Melara 76mm gun turret and a 21-shot RAM launcher. The helipad in the rear can deploy a light helicopter, typically a Westland Lynx Wildcat, as well as a Schiebel Camcopter S-100.
