i think that is the big Coast Guard Cutter.
look at 29sec to the bow of the ship, you see a grey thing (the RHIB) and you see the gun.

Indeed, there are no 'war ships' in the game, it's a matter of principle for the developer. There are several Coast Guard ships in the game though.

Again, as said many times...

Not all screenshots in the past have shown the final product. Things may differ, choices may have been reconsidered, things might have been found unfeasible while testing, plans may change..  :)

mad fred, K jack once asked if there was a name for the naval vessel and you responded,

Hello K Jack,

Yup it sure does!

It's the frigate 'Van Herwijnen'

Yup that's her name.

But that has no bearing on anything else. That's just the name.  :)


And cheers Tomaten.  :)

oh ok. i thought since you beta-tested you drove it and saw the name on it or something.

That too, yes. But I can't say if it's one way or the other as far as your initial question goes.  ;D

Also she's in Nautis ofcourse, formerly known as SS Pro 2.0
