Recognition Notes

The Baboon (Howler) is a 20-ton missile boat that fights at long range, cruising at 76 km/h and topping out near 119. Three LRM 5 racks sit together in the right torso, giving it a steady long-range punch without a close-in backup weapon. Endo steel structure and ferro-fibrous armor keep the frame light, and the type carries a low, hard-to-target silhouette along with a fixed searchlight. It is built by Marshall Epsilon Complex at Marshall (Contock), with production also underway at other sites.
