Recognition notes
The Rhino Fire Support Tank (SL) is an 80-ton tracked combat vehicle fielded as a missile boat. It swaps the LRM 10 that sat front on the original Rhino for an SRM 6 and four small lasers in that same front position, trading long-range reach there for close-in punch. The turret still pairs two medium lasers with two LRM 20 launchers, and the tank keeps the same 32 km/h cruising speed and 54 km/h top speed on Standard armor. It is a Field Refit built at various sites rather than a factory-produced model.
