Fast Patrol I understand
But Fighter Control in such a small ship? I am not getting how. Does she only control the battle. Or Launch and control or...... forgive me this I can not wrap my head around

that being said I like the design and thought behind the idea

So how would 3 fighters help a situation? OR is her role like a submarine which carried a limited number of torpedoes but packed a powerful punch

Just added fire power. The fighters aren't much smaller than the hanger doors (each door, one fighter).Fast Patrol Ships tend to be in flotillas of 6 ships. 1 "Leader", 1 "Scout", and the remaining 4 a mix of standard and specialist ships. So it's possible to have more than one PFF.

Like a WWII "wolf pack" I see how that would work. And if you have other ships around i.e. destroyers, cruisers
