Overview: Fyon-class smuggling ships are designed by Victory Shipyards specifically for the open seas smuggling role. Combining design features from naval frigates and civilian yachts, the Fyon-class can guarantee expedient, safe and rapid delivery of your goods to the desired destination.
This class of ships was conceived after several client states of Bulgaria had their non-charted weapons imports arrested in international waters by undesirable parties who were not interested in allowing weapons supplies flowing through their waters. Weapons, drugs and other materials considered illicit by some parties are usually transported in slow and heavy bulk carriers with a load of additional materials to conceal the transport's true purpose. We revolutionised this inefficient scheme by introducing the Fyon-class. With speeds exceeding 40 knots in rough sea and 50 knots in calm sea, a stealthy design layout and on-board armament, these vessels can guarantee that no enemy ships will catch up with your cargo or fire successfully at it.
The rear deck port provides the option to roll out the cargo in a very rapid manner, while the collapsible front deck platform allows the ship to be loaded by crane while docked in port. Two autocannon/CIWS systems provide cover from anti-ship missiles and attacking aircraft. Carbon-based stealth plating significantly reduces the radar cross-section of the vessel, making it appear as a speedboat or a small yacht on enemy radar screens. The provision to arm the vessel with anti-ship missiles or a helicopter platform allows your navy to officially accept the craft in service as patrol boats or light corvettes, which would give you the perfect explanation for holding such ships in your port. With the Fyon-class, the days when you worried about the arrival of your cargo are no more.
