Because every nation has them and they all generally seem to look like this!

“Vorpostenboote” - often eclipsed by capital ships, in naval history writing too I would guess. Rolling Eyes

I saw some sort of trawler available for DC some years ago but it was a bit smaller and as far as I rememember it was unarmed.

Really seems to be an interesting topic:

Nice find there HS! I'd hate to be a Duck or even a Spitfire flying low with that thing waiting. I'm thinking you'd need something like a Whirlwind or Typhoon to take that one out.

Yeah I remember the Italian fishing boats which are really quite lovely but I do wish there was that tall stacked trawler in game. Forgotten yes but its a most unfortunate oversight.
