A '''Light Attack Craft''' (''abbrev''. '''LAC''') is a sublight war vessel operated by several [[Honorverse]] navies, including the [[RMN]], [[GSN]], [[IAN]], and [[RHN]].  LACs are not capable of faster-than-light travel, so the RMN developed the [[LAC Carrier|CLAC]] (Carrier, Light Attack Craft) as a [[hyper-capable]] ship carrying a number (usually approximately 80-100) of LACs to deploy in battle.
