I want information and photos of a kind of attack boat - "Namakura" or
"Namakurra", I am not sure - emplyed by the South African NavyI have some information about the vessel but did not find any photos.

found?

Here the boats are referred to as Namacurra-class Harbour Protection Boats:

The correct spelling appears to be Namakura and there is surprisingly

about it's capabilities. I am prepared to post it as an answer if you
like.
