Wasn't the 'standard' J6 Fleet Courier presented in the CT LBB Supp 'Fighting Ships of the Spinward Marches'<sic> a 400dT CT HG design?

 Thank you for appreciating our firm's efforts to clarify
 what might suit
 the needs of the Combined Imperial Services' needs for a
 multi-mission
 courier/scout ship.

 The good news is that AuricTech Shipyards' design bureau has
 on file a
 100-dton yacht design that is capable of J4/6G
 performance.  The bad
 news is that our _Sunfish_-class yacht is unable to maintain
 J4/6G
 performance without foregoing both armor and any sort of
 defenses, let
 alone bearing any offensive firepower.

 Our design bureau is currently finalizing a proposal for a
 200-dton
 fleet courier, capable of J4/6G performance, that features a
 variety of
 10-dton skiffs for various missions.
