"Needle" for how it can strike to the point accurately while being so tiny. The 7A10 had superior speeds due to its powerful engine, lightweight material and construction, and double catamaran hulls used in conjunction with air cushioning, which made it perfect for fast patrol and scouting. It can go into dangerous areas, survey the battlefield, and back out easily, all the while masked by its low hull and stealth features. Even if the skjold is detected, it have a powerful load out of 8 NSM missiles, which if all 8 hit can sink an aircraft carrier. Its 57mm rapid gun also can shoot. down crafts like its own and it fires at a higher RPM than its original gun, allowing for higher chances of hits. The only defect is it lacks armour---it can get blown up by destroyer guns, missiles, and even CIWS. Therefore, the speed is required for escaping. Also, if required, a group of 8-10 skjold can rush a carrier group and try to take down the carrier. This will however be difficult for the concentrated fire from escorting destroyers can destroy it easily. Thus, it is still best use for scouting and patrolling purposes.
