The Strb 90 H is the main vessel for transporting the Amphibious battalions (Nowdays the Amphib corps).
The missile the missile squads are using is the laser guided RBS17 (missile system 17).
Bofors defence modified the hellfire missile for an Anti ship role and the end result were so good that the US bought back the changed missile system.
The missile were so accurate that you could place two or more missiles "hole in hole" .
Shooting out the engineroom and/or a bridge is no problem.
The Russian landingship "Ivan Rogov" class were in the target package.
The Ivan Rogov class was a six missile target.
The biggest advantage the system has is that it can be carried by a six to eight man Team including reload missiles.

However, an aircraft carrier coming in range of this weaponsystem is highly unlikely.
The system is intended for use in the archipelago where the Strb90,s can move around between the islands in high speed and very close to the islands due to it´s shallow hull.

The later models of Strb90,s as well as some export versions sport the lemur automatic cannon system.
Older versions had the gunner stand up on deck with a .50 cal HMG or Mk19.

I´ve got some old pictures laying around somewhere from my time at Amphib.
I´ll see if I can locate them.
