I think PT boats weighed in at around 75-80 tons. They were also much longer than 12.5 meters.

PS - In case it helps with figuring out what the game designers called a ship vs a boat, the smallest ship I was able to find was a Japanese xAKL at 170 tons.

Also, vessels weighing up to 100-tonnes can sail past reef hexsides.

Yes, I know - and this I believe stems more from the way vessel types are "named", rather than their correct (formal)
naval description. MTB and MGB are others. It's not really important in this context.

As an example, my 27-meter former minesweeper is formally a "ship" in the ship's register.
