The Melusine-class Missile Boat, is a Constancian rebuild of the Coastal Patrol Boat, with the main difference being the removal of torpedo tubes in favour of x2 quad standard missile launchers.
Twenty-five ex-Constancian hulls remain on the established strength of the Florian Navy. Twenty examples of the unmodernised type continued in service with the Federal Navy of Nouvelle Alexandrie as of 1729 AN. A further sixteen were meanwhile operated by the Arboreal Guard of the eponymous demesnial union in Natopian.
Melusine SCG
The Melusine SCG is the class used by the Sanaman Coast Guard. It is a converted version of the standard ship. The S-2 missiles have been removed as well as some sensors and processing systems to make room for an inflatable small boat and rudimentary hospital facilities. The complement has also been slimmed down to 18, with a minimal crew of 12.
