HNV Chrimata (CK 591), named for the Greek god of coins, is the lead ship of the Comet class of kayaks serving in the Hazainian Navy (HN).

Design and construction

[edit]

The Comet is a versatile sit-inside kayak designed for just about every water condition from lakes to slow moving rivers and creeks to beyond the surf. The performance hull provides outstanding stability, speed, and tracking in a convenient 9' package to get to where the adventure is. The Comet is loaded with great features and is equipped with Paddle Keepers, CRS + UltraLite XL Seat, a contoured tankwell, and bungee securing systems to accomodate for extra storage.

[[File:|thumb|left|HMAS Armidale docked at HMAS Waterhen]] Each kayak has a standard ship's company of 1 person, with a maximum of 2.[1][2] The Comets do not have a permanently assigned ship's company; instead, they are assigned to divisions at a ratio of two vessels to three personnel, which rotate through the vessels and allow the Comets to spend more time on the water, without compromising sailors' rest time or training requirements.

Chrimata was constructed by Emotion Kayaks at their shipyard in Clearfield, Utah.[3] She was commissioned into the HN in Hazz City[citation needed] on 8 April 2015.[3]

Operational history

[edit]

Chrimata is assigned to Patrol/Attack Division, and is based in Hazz City, and performs border protection and first response patrols.
