OVERVIEW

    The TME-128 Swordfish is a very light combat sub that uses basically the same hydrodynamic principles as the TME-127 Narwhal.  It is intended for use as a "parasite fighter" attached to larger submarines.   Armed with a short-range torpedo six-rack, this vessel (operated semi-prone from a pressure-tight but water-filled cockpit by a submariner with a breather suit) is affectionately called "the Swimming Coffin."

    Its armor is quite good for its size, actually.
