Hongdu JL-8 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hongdu_JL-8 Okay, it's a "trainer" but look at the range of weapons it can carry.

Project 1204 Shmel http://russian-ships.info/eng/borderguard/project_1204.htm Large class of Soviet patrol boat. Some exported to other countries. The three-inch gun gives it a pretty serious punch for such a relatively small boat. Good for pirates, perhaps? ANW HUD-4 v1.11

I remember reading somewhere that some of the weapons had been removed from some of the ships, although I cannot find that source now. Thanks. Mark ANW HUD 4 1.1b7
