Launch

The Launch is a light patrol boat in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, found inside the Easter Basin Naval Station in San Fierro. It has a .50 calibre machine gun at the back; it, however, cannot be used by the player or any NPC, and is considered a static object. The boat's armour is purely cosmetic and will not protect it from taking damage. The speed is average, because of the "heavy" armour. Entering the Naval Base automatically gives the player a 5-star Wanted Level, which means the Launch is tricky to obtain.

The only instance of the Launch other than its constant spawning location is in the loading bay of the aircraft carrier during the mission Vertical Bird; unfortunately, it cannot be stolen from there as the rear door of the ship closes at the exact moment Carl passes under it.
