New Vosper design is aimed directly at newly emerging requirement for more powerful armament, better seakeeping ability and capability for longer patrol and greater endurance at sea; it carries either Oto Melara 76 mm or twin 35 mm Oerlikon guns, together with number of Contraves Sea Killer beam-riding guided missiles, having range of 20 km; armament, both guided missiles and guns, is directed by Contraves Sea Hunter Mk 4 fire control system; either triple-screw power plant of three gas turbines with diesels for cruising and maneuvering, or quadruple-screw diesel arrangement, is offered; diagrams of both 142-ft versions are included.
