The "Searider" is a fictitious class Fast Attack Craft Missile (FACM) boat and does not actually exist in any Navy. Her design was based on an OSA class hull (heavily modified). She is equipped with Western weaponry (all fully operational in VS) and she should be a deadly opponent inside VS.
You can watch her in action here:

The Zerstörer 1936A class destroyers, or Narvik class destroyers as they were known to the Allies,
were a class of German destroyers of the Second World War.
In terms of armament they were closer to light cruisers than the typical destroyer.
The use of 5.9 inch (150 mm) guns was atypical of destroyers which tended to have guns around 4.7 to 5 inch (120 - 127 mm) in calibre.
They were intended to carry their forward guns in a twin turret, but as the twin turrets were not ready in time they initially carried single mounted guns.
Despite being powerful the ships were not without their flaws.
There were problems with the reliability of the high pressure steam engines and seakeeping in rough seas due to the newly designed bow and heavy forward artillery.
The eight ships of the Zerstörer 1936A class (Z23 to Z30) were all laid down between 1938 and 1940.
The seven destroyers numbered from Z31 to Z39 were classed as Zerstörer 1936A (Mob);
they were laid down in 1940 and 1941 and were slightly larger and had some internal modifications (including engines that caused less trouble than with their predecessors)
from the original design to shorten construction times.
Displacement: 3,700 tons
Length: 416ft
Beam: 39ft
Draught: 10.25ft
Machinery: 2 shafts, geared turbines 6 boilers, 70,000 hp (52,200 kW)
Speed: 37.5 knots (69 km/h)
Range: 2,240 nautical miles (4,150 km) at 19 knots (35 km/h)
Armament:
Five 150 mm guns.
Four 37 mm guns. (later 14)
Twelve 20 mm guns. (later 18)
Eight 533 mm torpedo tubes.
60 mines.
Depth charge launchers.
There were various combinations of armament as availabilty and operational circumstances dictated.
