A GPB-150 Class Work Vessel Outfitted with kitting to act as a Tender, Resupply Ship, & Pull-Tug.
Story
"Our lads worked out of southern Ireland long before any war thoughts were being tossed about. Whether it be seaplanes, other ships, or even a few occasional lighthouse calls, we’ve worked these waters on different ships for a long while. Though I’ll say, our current lass is in the running for the best. She’s done us right by every turn, can’t think of a time i’ve regretted the investment."

For finding a client, use the Signal Strength of the Radio Signal to tell if you are getting closer or farther away.
As well, you can use the Transponder Locator, with its’ "Ping Interval" and "Rough Distance from Ping" Functions to help you find your client.
Though, the transponder distance & interval does get iffy once you’re within a Kilometre, though by then you should be able to see what you’re looking for.
Communication is Key in this, so the map is helpful if you can have the client tell you landmarks near them, and their heading via the compass. - Cargo Hold
The Cargo Hold can be opened with the buttons on the port side of the winch tower.
You can load and unload cargo with the crane, and the control handle can be found on the starboard of the winch tower. - Cargo Listing
Deck Torpedo – Paste the Deck Torpedo onto the vehicle and merge the torpedo holdings to the Cargo Hold Hatch.
Ammunition Crate – Simply paste the amount of crates you need inside the cargo hold.
Torpedo Water Carriage – This cannot be held within the ship and must be towed behind the vessel.

This vessel is part of the first wave of releases for my "The Battered & Banished"(TB&B) Project, an alternate history project inspired by World War 2.
In TB&B, you will find a story of how and why Civilian Machines were called to arms turned into Fighting Vehicles, however this one is just an auxiliary support vehicle.
These vehicles could be described as "Diesal Punk Lite", with tons of little scrappy and machinery details and greebles scattered over them.
Thank you checking out my plane, and if you wish to involve yourself with this project, please feel free to contact me!
