Use
Anti-Ship Garrison
When its Garrison is active (large flag on top) it automatically fires at any enemy ships (except Large Ships), accurately in 150m range, and inaccurately up to 200m. It can fire in a full 360 degree arc. It fires every 3 seconds and each shot deals 1350 damage (5m radius explosion). The shots it fires are not actual projectiles, and instead put an explosion on a spot directly. Due to this its shots are not blocked by obstacles or terrain the gun can fire at any vehicle in water within its range. It treats land vehicles mostly or fully submerged in the water as ships and fires at them until they are destroyed. It doesn't target swimming infantry.
Its garrison cannot be suppressed.
Resistance
It has a lot of health. It is immune to small arms, fragmentation grenades, and 12.7mm machine gun. It's pretty resistant to most heavy explosives but is vulnerable to Demolition explosives.
