The Moray is a Cobra vehicle from the A Real American Hero series.

Cobra's Moray hydrofoil is a missile boat and FAC intended for amphibious operations, littoral combat, and high-speed pursuit. Armed with missiles, torpedoes, autocannons, and machine guns (MGs), the Moray is more than capable of hurting anything in its path.

Features

With a carbon-fiber reinforced, laminated V-bottomed hull, the Moray displaces 1.8 tons on the water's surface and weighs 3.75 tons on its T-shaped fully submerged (FS) hydrofoils. The boat's inboard motor is a high-flow 775 hp Destro V12 gasoline engine that allows it to reach a top speed of 48 knots and operational range of 425 nmi when fully loaded and manned by 6 crewmen (pilot + copilot + 4 gunners).

The Moray's special equipment includes: sonar tracking scanners, depth gauges, a ham radio with scrambler, and a copilot-operated remote halogen spotlight.

Weapons

The Moray is armed to the teeth. Among its main armaments are the remote-targeting, pilot-operated 19mm machine gun immediately forward of the pilothouse and the rapid-fire 23mm twin-barrel cannon mounted on a ring-turret topside over the pilothouse. Located port and starboard of the pilothouse are 2 forward-firing shore-assault 55mm Gatling cannons. On the aftdeck stand 4 pintle-mounted, lateral M-30 machine guns, 2 on either side, which can rotate 360°.

In terms of ordnance, this hydrofoil is armed amidships with 2 hull-mounted, surface-skimming “Black-Ray” acoustic torpedoes with 225 lb. warheads and a range of 6,400 yd. On either side of the pilothouse exterior sit an HE-07A low-flight AGM. The foredeck has a forward hatch that conceals a retractable 4-stage missile launcher loaded with 4 HE-J-180 “Jumpstart” ASMs. Finally, the boat's stern contains 2 binnacles loaded with floating magnetic depth charges, each 9 in. and 75 lbs., which feed into an aft launcher.
