 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 10x 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 10x marines 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.|
