Apatrol boat(also referred to as apatrol craft,patrol ship,orpatrol vessel) is a relatively smallnaval vesselgenerally designed forcoastal defence,border security,orlaw enforcement.There are many designs for patrol boats, and they generally range in size. They may be operated by a nation'snavy,coast guard,police,orcustoms,and may be intended for marine ( "blue water"),estuarine( "green water"), or river ("brown water") environments.
Per their name, patrol boats are primarily used to patrol a country'sexclusive economic zone(EEZ), but they may also be used in other roles, such as anti-smuggling,anti-piracy,fisherypatrols,immigration lawenforcement, orsearch and rescue.Depending on the size, organization, and capabilities of a nation's armed forces, the importance of patrol boats may range from minor support vessels that are part of a coast guard, to flagships that make up a majority of a navy's fleet. Their small size and relatively low cost make them one of the most common naval vessels in the world.
Classification[edit]
The classification of a patrol boat is often subjective, but they are generally small naval vessels that are used to patrol national waters or a certainjurisdiction.They may be as large as acorvetteor even afrigate,though the term may also be used for vessels as small as ayachtorrigid inflatable boat.They can includefast attack craft,torpedo boats,andmissile boats.They may be broadly classified as inshore patrol vessels (IPVs) or offshore patrol vessels (OPVs). OPVs and medium size cutters are usually the smallest ship in a navy's fleet that are large and seaworthy enough to patrol off-shore in the openocean,while IPVs are typically too small to do so and are instead kept inlakesorrivers,or close tocoasts;IPVs specifically used in rivers can also be called "riverine patrol vessels". Large patrol vessels, Heavy patrol vessels and Large cutters are the largest type of patrol ships and are typically more than 100 m (330 ft) in length.
Seagoing patrol boats are typically around 30 m (100 ft) in length and usually carry a single medium caliberartillery gunas main armament, and a variety of lighter secondary armament such asmachine guns,while others include the sophisticatedclose-in weapon system.Depending on their role, vessels in this class may also have more sophisticated sensors andfire controlsystems that would enable them to carrytorpedoes,anti-ship missiles,andsurface-to-air missiles.[1]
History[edit]
During both World Wars, in order to rapidly build up numbers, all sides created auxiliary patrol boats by armingmotorboatsand seagoingfishing trawlerswith machine guns and obsolete naval weapons. Some modern patrol vessels are still based on fishing and leisure boats.
TheUnited States Navyoperated thePegasusclassof armed hydrofoils for years in a patrol boat role. During theVietnam War,the U.S. Navy ordered 193 aluminum hulledPatrol Craft, Fast(PCFs),[2]also known asSwiftboats,for brown water naval operations. ThePatrol Boat, River(PBR, sometimes called "Riverine" and "Pibber" ) was a fiberglass hulled vessel also designed and used for inland river operations during the Vietnam War, and became an icon of water operations during the war due to its use in the 1979 filmApocalypse Now.
Most modern designs are powered bygas turbinearrangements such asCODAG,and speeds are generally in the 25–30 knots (46–56 km/h; 29–35 mph) range. The largest OPVs might also have aflight deckandhelicopterembarked. In times of crisis or war, these vessels are expected to support the larger vessels in a navy, though some smaller navies are mostly composed of just patrol boats.
