I found this one, and can't find any information or other picture on it. The only words I have connected to the picture is: "Germany, Blohm & Voss, Mekat 100 Corsair"

this is the Blohm + voss private venture SES vessel late 80's it was to be a prototype and technological presentator for the future of SES vessels. despite intially marketed as civilian ship, it was fitted out as an warship (presumaly during taking that picture) in some maritime show in the early 90's. I recall having seen some sort of linedrawing of this in some old western book or magazine, but by quick search I cannot find it

What catch my interest for it, is the font view look similar to Skjold class front view! also the hull design proportion from front do the same...

yes from the front it does. but the sideway betrays the bit more bulkier looks:

somehow aside few remarks in some old magazines, there seems to be little to nothing of it online, despite the vessel was actually build!

Can clearly see where the idea of skjold class design come from, specially when Skjold class was originally designed wit 57mm gun, quit interesting....
