Well, 'tis my third ship bucket thingy, so it is good to know I have not peaked too early.My further questions would be (1) those SAMs are just heat-seeking MANPADS, right? and (2) any reason the torpedo is exposed rather than inside a tube/container of some kind?
1) Maritime/ground commonality seems to be a good idea (RE: CAMM and RB's Aster 30 lorries), so I figured the French use of mistral ManPADS on ships couldn't hurt, if transliterated into Kourian stuff. In other words... Yes.
2) It was just that way in the image I used to draw it from.

1) Good. I was just making sure this wasn't another case of "added radar-guided SAMs, didn't add radar guidance," which seems to plague :NS: patrol boats.
2) Odd... but not unprecedented. If I had to hazard a guess, I'd speculate it's meant to be dropped over the side for ASW.
