 Military vessels are not generally available to PCs, or other civilians.  However, in exceptional circumstances, a PC with a Privateer contract may be allowed to purchase a Corvette.  Military vessels have smaller cargo holds than their civilian equivalent, as cargo space has been converted to bunks or accommodation to house marines and officers.   There is always a Master Gunner  (an artillerist) a Marine Lieutenant and at least one Naval Lieutenant in the ship's complement. There are always a couple of Ship's Boats aboard, to ferry officers around or land the marines.

-|{{  :pathfinder:off-the-shelf:ships_boats:light_galley4.png?150|}}| **The Light Galley** used by the Hann Navy is roughly 50 feet in length, powered by rowers and a square sail, and is generally used for harbour coastal patrols.  They can make longer voyages, but needs to take on supplies regularly, and are generally accompanied by a sailing vessel.  The Light Galleys is not a comfortable vessel when crossing deep water, and high seas can cause it to sink. \\ \\ **Details:**  Top cruising speed is 60, using sail and the standard complement of 8 rowers, which is sufficient to deal with most coastal vessels, and those entering or leaving harbours.  They can get a short burst of speed (75) by double staffing oars, but that isn't sustainable over any distance. They normally carry a ballista on the foredeck and rely on their complement of 10xmarines to subdue vessels. In times of war, they  carry a larger complement of marines. \\ [[pathfinder:off-the-shelf:ships_boats:shipsstats#light_galley_military_vessel|Click here for Light Galley specifications]]|

 |{{ :pathfinder:off-the-shelf:ships_boats:military_cutter.jpg?150 |}}|**The Military Cutter** is a light ship with a single mast, powered primarily by a large gaff sail ate the rear and multiple headsails. It does not have a fore or after deck, and all crew accommodation is below deck - seriously eating into cargo space. It's great boom and bowsprit limit it to carrying eight light ballistae (1x fore, 1x aft and 3x on each side). They need a sailimng crew of 20 and generally carry a complement of 10x Marines.  Cargo = 45 tons.|
 |{{:pathfinder:off-the-shelf:ships_boats:brigantine.jpg?150|}}| **The Corvette** is a Light Ship, that carries a small battery of Ballistae and a complement of Marines.  It is a bit faster and a bit more manoeuvrable than its civilian cousin. \\ \\ Lightly armed merchant ships, which might look similar to a Corvette, are occasionally used as naval messenger vessels, and are known as Sloops-of-War.|
