As for the upgraded ship, it sure is more well equipped. Those 3 at the back have weird housing though. Must be some stealthy thing. What about the object behind the aft gun? Can't make it out. Like what they did with the superstructure behind the bridge.

hi city hunter! :armysmile:

the three "weird things" that are behind the aft gun, which is a 76 mm OTO Melara dual purpose gun, are the Gabriel anti-ship missiles. :armywink:

the superstructure behind the bridge seem to house the fire control system (?). :dunno:

still, the Hetz class (Sa'ar 4.5) FACs are considered as the most heavily-armed fast attack crafts in the world. the Israelis decided to upgrade part of their fleet of Sa'ar 4s into Hetz class standard to back up the Sa'ar 5 class guided-missile corvettes (which serve as "mother ships" of the Hetz class FACs).
