the Piranha Attack Boat

The Piranha is a large, fresh-water assault craft that was built by the GI Joe team in direct response to Cobra's use of genetically enhanced soldiers under the waves. This fast and tough boat is armed with twin torpedo launchers and three separate gun emplacements.

Most often helmed by either Cutter or Shipwreck, the Piranha is a great boon to GI Joe operations in river beds or near the shore - where Cobra aquatic troops are most likely to strike. It also makes a great patrol craft. The Piranha has these vehicular characteristics:

Communications Gear: the Piranha is equipped with a gigahertz frequency, frequency wobbler clandestine operations radio system (and dual transceiver antennas). It has rank value 10 communications power (with a 25 mile range), that features rank value 30 signal encryption.

Machine Gun Emplacements: the Piranha has three of these, situated in a triangle at the front of the boat. Each houses a rotary barreled machine gun that inflicts rank value 20 Piercing damage when firing short bursts, or rank value 30 Piercing damage when fired continuously.

Roll Cage: the cabin of the Piranha is encased in a roll cage, which allows its pilot increased protection against crashing or rolling damage. In the event of either such occurrence, the Piranha's pilot should benefit from +1 RS to the listed vehicular Protection, above.

Torpedo Launchers: the Piranha also has two torpedo bays, both situated at the front of the craft. They can fire projectiles which can target either enemy craft or personnel, and inflict +1 RS damage if both weapons strike a single target simultaneously:
