The Schnellboot, widely known as the S-Boot, was a swift German attack vessel that served in the Kriegsmarine during the Second World War. The British referred to it as the “E-boat,” with the “E” standing for “enemy,” a term that was universally adopted by Allied forces. Over the course of the war, the vessel’s design was continually improved, culminating in the S-100 class, which marked the peak of its development.

Congress has demanded the U.S. Navy look into buying a new class of small warships loaded with missiles or adding bolt-on launchers to existing vessels, including amphibious warfare and auxiliary support types, to help increase its combat capacity. Lawmakers ordered the study in response to major delays in work on the Navy’s future Constellation class frigates in large part due to extensive changes in the core design. There is already a long-standing debate about whether the 32 vertical launch system (VLS) cells on those ships are adequate to support their expected mission sets, something The War Zone has previously explored in detail.
