The PB-91 is a redsign of the aging PB-88. Like the PB-88 it is highly maneverable, heavily armored and packs a deadly punch but instead of the Catamaran design of the PB-88, this features 4 hulls. Two small hulls support the main deck and weapons while two oversized outriggers provide a seworthiness rating of 4 (out of 5). The same three 5 inch cannons provide rapid fire capability for destroying the pirates, corvettes and frigates which may harrass your docks or merchant ships and it has standard air defense capability. The quad 40mm anti-aircraft guns can also deal with small, fast moving water targets.( like terrorists in small speedboats) and there are two CIWS turrets and 12 SAMs.
