==Overview:==
The concept behind the Starfish is simple: an escort submarine for larger subs
like the Neptune and the Poseidon. This is a no-frills job, and so aside from
the miniature naval mines (meant to discourage close pursuit) there isn't
anything really special about it.

A turreted PPC provides the bulk of the fire, allowing the Starfish to
threaten targets both above and below the waterline. Additionally, all four
facings have an SRM 2 torpedo rack and an LRM 5 torpedo rack; the SRM 2s each
have 25 shots and the LRM 5s each have 12 shots. Smart operators will be sure
to conserve their shots, however.

==Capabilities:==
Treat each mine as if it represented a vibro-mine. Note that since it has no
anchor it will float during battle; GM must keep track of it.
