A [[pinnace]] is a type of auxiliary craft, carried by [[ship|ships]] to transport personnel to and from the ship.   
A [[pinnace]] is a type of auxiliary craft (tier-1), carried by capital ([[hyper-capable]]) [[ship|ships]] to transport personnel to and from the ship.   


In the [[Honorverse]] [[canon]], a [[hyper-capable]] warship carries a complement of auxiliary craft, including pinnaces, shuttles, and cutters in their boat-bay. Since the ship is incapable of atmospheric flight or landing on a planet, the auxiliary craft are used to transport personnel and materiel to and from planetary surfaces, as well as between ships, or between ships and stations in situations where it is not practical for the ship to dock with the station.

In {{trmn}} (TRMN), a pinnace is a [[chapter]] type available to members who wish to start a chapter, but who have not yet recruited enough members for a larger ship type. The pinnace is sponsored by an existing chapter and takes its name from the sponsoring ship's name, ''eg'' the first pinnace sponsored by HMS Merlin would be called "Pinnace Merlin-01" (or "Pinnace Merlin-One"). The parent chapter (HMS Merlin, in this example) lends support to the pinnace in order to ensure that the pinnace will be ready to operate as a full independent chapter.

Pinnace


A pinnace is a type of auxiliary craft (tier-1), carried by capital (hyper-capable) ships to transport personnel to and from the ship.

In the Honorverse canon, a capital warship carries a complement of auxiliary craft, including pinnaces, shuttles, and cutters in its boat-bay. Since a capital ship is incapable of atmospheric flight or planetary landing, auxiliary craft are used to transport personnel and materiel to and from planetary surfaces, as well as between ships, or between ships and stations in situations where it is not practical for the ship to divert to the station.

Pinnaces in TRMN

In The Royal Manticoran Navy: The Official Honor Harrington Fan Association, Inc. (TRMN), a pinnace is a chapter type available to members who wish to start a chapter, but who have not yet recruited enough members for a larger ship type. The pinnace is sponsored by an existing chapter and takes its name from the sponsoring ship's name (e.g. the first pinnace sponsored by HMS Merlin would be called "Pinnace Merlin-01" or "Pinnace Merlin-One"). The parent chapter (HMS Merlin, in this example) lends support to the pinnace in order to ensure that it will be ready to operate as a full independent chapter.

When the pinnace chapter meets the crew complement and training requirements for a larger chapter type, BuShips may then commission it as a tier-3 or larger ship, and the pinnace is then considered "returned to the boat-bay" of its parent ship.

Since 2014, pinnaces have been commissioned by the authority of fleet commanders.<ref>Admiralty Order 1403-02</ref> Before that, BuShips issued orders to launch pinnaces.

As Fleet COs also launch Light Attack Craft (LACs), the fleet order commissioning the LAC will also order return of the pinnace to the parent chapter's boat-bay. If the pinnace upgrades to a hyper-capable ship, the BuShips commissioning order for the hyper-capable ship will also order return of the pinnace to the parent chapter's boat-bay.

Pinnaces are meant to be temporary chapter types. There is a time limit for their operation, so they must either commission as a LAC or larger within that time limit or else be decommissioned.

Civilian chapter

In the Royal Manticoran Merchant Marine, the equivalent to an RMN pinnace is an Inter-System Shuttle.

Marine Corps Assault Shuttle

Royal Manticoran Marine Corps personnel may launch an assault shuttle chapter, also sponsored by a parent RMN ship.
