Sa'ar

The Sa’ar (סְעָרָה/ Tempest) class patrol boats were a Samarian conversion of the ever-reliable PT boat. Suited for patrolling the coastal waters and performing fast attacks, they were ideal for the Samarians. The conversion consisted of removing the four torpedo tubes and the 20 mm autocannon on the front. The latter was replaced with a more powerful dual-purpose 40 mm autocannon with a modern computer system to assist in aiming. The two 12.7 mm machine guns were retained, and a rack with three depth charges was added for limited anti-submarine capabilities (although they were more often than not used for stowing barrels of gasoline). The most significant change was the addition of two launchers for the Ramiel (רעמיאל‎‎) missiles. These give the Sa'ar the capability of taking out vessels that are many times her size. All electric systems were also upgraded to suit the new radars and other equipment. Power comes from three aircraft piston engines, driving three shafts, capable of getting the Sa'ar up to her top speed of 35 knots. Crew consists of fifteen, of which three are officers.

I found this online, because I had no idea on how to start this build. I changed almost everything, but there is still a bit of the original left. So I have to give the guy a little credit.

 

This render took ages, but at least you can zoom in properly, so it was definitely worth it.
