The Anguille-class Landing Patrol Vessel is a Notreceauen military landing craft in use with the Navy and Army of Notreceau. Introduced in 1996 the Anguille-class serves as both a coastal patrol and riverine vessel with a variety of configurations available depending on mission type. The Anguille can transport 3 tons of cargo or 22 infantrymen.

History

During the late 1980s and early 1990s Notreceauen riverine forces operating in central Omand during operation Southern Cross began reporting a myriad of problems with the then in service Esturgeon-class Landing Patrol Vessel. While the vessel had admirable handling qualities, its open-top nature and high-profile bridge made its infantry compliment susceptible to small arms fire and grenades and its command crew easy targets for heavier weapons. As a result the Notreceauen Navy contracted the Directive sur la Construction Navale for a replacement.

The Anguille-class first underwent sea-trials in 1997, undergoing a three year trial period before officially entering service in 2000. During trials the Anguille's initial engine was replaced by the more powerful EMN202 Waterjet, allowing it to reach speeds comparable to the Esturgeon-class while weighing a full four tons more. Further provisions were taken to equip the Anguille with the ML59 120mm mortar, allowing the vessel to provide indirect fire support to forces operating near rivers or coastlines. At this point the military of Costa Meijis purchased 30 units for usage with their own riverine forces which often operated in tandem with Notreceauen forces during Patrian Legion operations. Following further upgrade packages in 2004 and 2007 respectively, the Anguille was purchased by the militaries of Copperhead and Lappland for use in both riverine and coastal operations.

Since 2018 the Anguille has seen significant service in the region near the Eminescu Dam as part of the longstanding Patrian Legion mission in the area, most notably with the 22e Marine Infantry Regiment (Riverine). It was during these operations that the Anguille-class suffered its first loss in 2021 when P205 struck an Omandan Continental War-era Naval mine in the Râu drag. Investigations into the incident determined that the mine was of OSSR design, but had likely been planted by political militants opposed to the Patrian Legions presence in the region. At the time of the collision, P205 was not carrying any Marines, but the resulting explosion did kill both crew members and sank the vessel.
