The campaign's small-craft design carries unusually heavy gun armament for its size, but its roll remains severe. The imbalance is accepted because the boats will stay close to bases and larger ships. Their assigned role is local defense, where immediate firepower matters more than seakeeping or endurance. A narrow mission gives this compromised hull a practical use.

Severe roll and a heavy gun fit produce a small craft intended for local defense rather than independent operations.
