T-142 | Armed Trawler

An Old Trawler converted into an Armed Anti-Submarine Patrol Vessel, originally built by Kruzhink Shipyards for Civilian use.
It has come to my attention that the issue regarding Speed is solvable by ENABLING ENGINE OVERHEATING, not DISABLING
I wonder what happened to them. The other trawler, our sister ship, the one that was sunk.
I knew some of the guys on that ship. We'd gone drinking before.
The way that time seemed to slow when those torpedo boats hooked the corner of the coast and lined us up.
Those few minutes felt like hours.
I remember searching for the gunboat that was supposed to be with us.
The way my heart sank when I saw that her guns weren't mounted yet.
The one thing that could've maybe saved us..

I'll never know if our sister ship intended to, but she moved right into the line of the torpedo boats..
Right in the way of the closest spread.
She caught each one that would have elsewise caught us.
We couldn't stop.. I will never forget how badly I wanted to beat the captain senseless, but when I saw the tears in his eyes.. I knew he had no choice.

ding.. ding.. ding..
Damn. That's the sound for us to go on patrol, the gunboat must be pulling into port to go off duty.
We aren't much, but if you tell anyone, tell them that we will not stop fighting to rid the occupation.
I really must go.
Glory to the Banished.

Electrics
• In the ship, in the Maintenance section, there is a room labeled "Electrical", in here there are individual breakers for each battery if you must turn one off, and an emergency cut-off for all ship electrics if necessary.
  Sonar
  
• The sonar is located below deck in the right of the Bow Section. Turn the sonar on, and rotate it to the azimuth you wish to check, and watch the sound. Spikes indicate a target, and a good operator can use these spikes to pin point a location and direction of travel by watching the fluctuations in sound level.
  WARNING: The sonar is only considered accurate within 90 degrees port and starboard of the bow, as once past there, you will receive interference from the propellers. This can be alleviated via slowing the vessel, but never eliminated.
  Depth Charges
  The control panel is located on the exterior bridge. It may seem daunting but it actually very simple to manage and use.
  There is a panel to control the detonation depth, a large button for dropping a single stern charge, and a panel you can use to launch either port or starboard depth charge mortars, OR launch a pattern, which releases one of each charge, covering a large area.

This creation is for my "The Battered & Banished"(TB&B) Project, an alternate history project inspired by World War 2 and that time period.
In TB&B, you will find a story of a shattered Europe and what it was like before, where skilled guerilla forces and an organized resistance fight to take Europe back using anything they can find or make, as well as the stories of the civilians trying to make it through such a period of chaos.
