16m Class Suportship (autofolowing)
16m Class Support Ship (Auto-Following)
The 16m Class Support Ship is a fast and versatile auxiliary vessel designed to operate alongside the 29m Class “Rostock” as an automated support and escort craft. When the Auto-Follow system is activated, the vessel autonomously follows the mother ship while maintaining a safe distance of 80 meters to prevent collisions and ensure safe maneuvering in all conditions.
Powered by dual 2-cylinder engines delivering a combined output of 1,100 HP, the support ship can reach speeds of up to 35 knots, allowing it to keep pace with larger vessels while remaining highly maneuverable. Despite its compact size, the ship offers significant logistical value, capable of transporting one ISO container or two UNICON containers.
Thanks to its cargo capacity and speed, the 16m Class Support Ship can act as an escort and logistics extender, significantly increasing transport capability during shore landings and amphibious assault operations. This makes it an ideal platform for rapid deployment, resupply missions, and coastal support roles.
Usage Instructions:
After spawning the vessel, you must occupy the bridge of the 29m Class ship. Above the driver’s position, locate and activate the switch labeled “Request Follow by Support Boat.”
Once enabled, the support ship will automatically follow the mother ship. If functioning correctly, it will start the engine and activate the warning beacon to alert nearby units to potential hazards.
Interior Layout:
Upon boarding the vessel, you will first enter the manual control room, followed by the engine room. On the deck, a dedicated hatch provides access to the technical and repair shaft, which allows full maintenance and repair of the entire vessel, ensuring high operational readiness even in prolonged missions.
