The Launch is a military light patrol boat in GTA: San Andreas.
The Launch is evidently based on the SeaArk Riverine Assault Craft (RAC) used by the USMC.
The vessel is a medium-sized armored boat with a relatively long hull and short hand rails that reach almost to the transom, as well as a small compartment on the bow. The cabin quarters are exposed and feature an angular windshield with sectioned windows, tall frames/supports above and a frontal steel arch mounting the radar and antenna, while the rear deck mounts a rear steel arch with no features on top. The stern area after the deck consists of the large vents for the engine bay, small antennas on either side and a rear-facing seat with an unusable machine gun on the back (which resembles a M2 Browning .50 caliber machine gun and incorporates a small shield), both located on a dedicated compartment. Directly on the rear end, there are two propellers and an additional frame for protection.
The boat is available with minor roof configurations, being a black canopy over the cabin quarters or the rear deck (sometimes with no canopy at all). The vehicle spawns in a bluish primary color for most of the body, with a slightly darker shade of blue as the secondary color on the lower portions of the hull and the flat sections of the steel arches.
