Recognition notes
The Mad Cat III X is a 55-ton missile boat that fights at long range, cruising at 65 km/h and topping out near 97. Its main punch comes from a pair of LRM 20 racks, one in each torso, each tied to an Artemis V fire-control system in that same location. Close-in defense falls to an ER medium laser and an ER small laser in each arm, with two ER micro lasers in the left torso and two more in the right torso backing up the missile launchers. The design carries enhanced communications gear and is noted as maintenance-intensive, and it is built at Manufacturing Plant DSF-IT1 on Itabaiana.
