	Australian Patrol Boat Group - Force Element Groups (Royal Australian Navy)
		On the left is the HMAS Armidale and in the centre is the Fremantle Class Patrol Boat, HMAS Townsville.
		The FEG undertakes patrol, surveillance and response operations with a boarding capability and is structured to manage the capability within a unique environment.
		The Patrol Boats thus rely on the FEG and host bases to provide personnel, administrative and logistic support and support to Command Teams.

	Island-class 123' Patrol Boat
		In December of 2005 conversion of the 110' Island-class patrol boats was halted at 8 units following the identification of significant hull buckling in the converted boats.
		The 123’ Island-class patrol boats are 123 feet long, have a beam of 21 feet, and draw 7.5 feet of water.
		The 123-foot Island-class patrol boats are equipped with a single Mk 38 25mm Bushmaster cannon and either two M60D 7.62mm GP machine guns or two M2.50 caliber machineguns.

	USS Gunnel SS-253 / Third War Patrol (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The safety of the boat and crew depended to a large extent on the vigilance of the three "lookouts" assigned to watch standing duties on the bridge.
		While submerged since the attack and until sufacing at 0415, the Captain had the sub plane up occasionally to a depth where the radar operators could make a 360 degree horizon sweep for contacts and to get bearings and ranges of the second freighter while it was still within range.
		The return trip was uneventful except that two patrol vessels were encountered, one on the 530 mile circle from Tokyo and the other at 1050 miles, the draft of each was too shallow to warrant a torpedo attack.

	Ohio State Highway Patrol -- History
		Boat owners, particularly those in the Indian Lake area, volunteered their boats for the rescue efforts, which were put at the disposal of the Patrol.
		Patrol units withdrew from the flood zone in early February and members of the Sixth Training Class returned to school in Findlay, where all but one would graduate in March.
		Patrol motorcycles led a Sunday afternoon parade to the new facility where, despite rain, throngs of visitors converged to observe the ceremony and inspect the new barracks.

	USS BATFISH (SS 310) WAR PATROL #3
		The closer this boat got the more I was convinced she was the WHALE, and after the range had closed to about 3000 yards I definitely established her identity as friendly.
		Patrol boat bearing 135° T patrolling on a southwesterly course (Ship contact #24.) With all this activity it looks like there might be something coming through.

	Ohio State Highway Patrol -- History
		The Patrol was also given jurisdiction to "investigate all aircraft accidents within the state of Ohio, anything in the General Code of Ohio limiting the jurisdiction of the state highway patrol to the contrary notwithstanding." The first arrest for "drunken flying" was made on April 28, 1948, by Ptl.
		The legality of Patrol enforcement on the Ohio Turnpike remained in doubt for nearly seven months, until legislative action was passed to approve Turnpike regulations and the authorization for the Patrol to add enough officers to police the road.
		Patrol units from districts three and seven, along with all sheriffs deputies, were relieved, leaving the original detachment of 30 patrolmen.

	Don Keith - Final Patrol
		It was aboard USS Silversides, nicknamed the “Lucky Boat” because of her many close scrapes with the enemy, that Pharmacist Mate Tom Moore successfully removed a shipmate’s gangrenous appendix—even though he had never performed any kind of surgery before and had to resort to using knives and dinner forks from the galley for surgical instruments.
		The boat’s sound operator was still so deafened from counting the explosions of the depth charges that he couldn’t hear the thunder, but he could certainly appreciate the sweet, fresh air that spilled down the open hatch once they were on the surface.
		And in several cases, the story of how the submarines came to the end of their “final patrol,” how they came to be where they are today, is just as absorbing as the rest of their biographies.

	Killer Fish: Lockheed-Martin's CHARC
		Lockheed-Martin's proposal for a deterrent to the threat of small-boat, shallow-water threats is an innovative cross between an attack helicopter and a stealth boat.
		The attack on the Cole represents a new dimension in naval warfare.
		Both the Pegasus (which were decommissioned in the 1990s) and Cyclone patrol boats are capable of performing the same duties as would the CHARC, in addition to performing greater missions such as costal presence patrols, special operations support, drug interdiction, and search and rescue missions.

	Navy - South Korea Intelligence & Security Agencies
		The Kirogi-class patrol boat was a larger model of the Tacoma-designed Schoolboyclass patrol boat manufactured in South Korea during the 1970s.
		The Kirogi-class patrol boat, a 170-ton vessel, required a thirty-one-person crew and was equipped with five guns: one 40mm single-barreled Bofors on the bow, two 30mm twin-barreled Emerson Electrics in the stern, and two 20mm Oerlikon twin-barreled guns behind the bridge.
		The Kirogi-class patrol boat, with a range of 700 kilometers and a maximum speed of 38 knots, was well suited for its inshore patrol mission.

	USS Triton IV
		Four Thetis-class patrol boats, including Triton, were assigned to the East Coast Sound School, Key West, Fla., for duty as patrol and training vessels.
		Although American warships had been actively engaged in patrol and escort missions in the Battle of the Atlantic even before Pearl Harbor, their techniques for combatting the dangerous German submarines were, in January and February 1942, still far from adequate.
		On the 12th, in an area well known for "false contacts," Triton attacked what she thought to be a submarine but later evaluated to be otherwise.

	THE COAST GUARDS BEACH PATROL
		These small boats were to observe and report the actions of hostile forces and to attack enemy submarines when armament permitted.
		While the attack never came, the value of the patrol was recognized as useful to the military even before the 20th century.
		The beach patrols are more in the nature of outposts to report activities along the coastline and are not to repel hostile armed units.

	the nuclear information project: Soviet/Russian nuclear submarine patrols
		One of the Pacific boats would patrol to the north-east with the other sometimes as far as to the west of Hawaii.
		Patrols continued to decline after that until they came to a halt in 2002.
		If and when Russia resumes routine strategic submarine patrols at a more significant level (which the other nuclear weapons states have continued in the meantime), "prudent" military planning will almost certainly result in western attack submarines being sent to trail them on their patrols.

		The Hai Ou class fast attack boats of the ROCN were designed with Israeli assistance and manufactured indigenously.
		A new class of missile boat with larger displacement is under development to replace the Hai Ou class.
		While the Haiqing class will certainly expand the limited ASW capabilities of the PLAN in coastal waters, additional larger and more capable ASW platforms such as the Jiangwei class frigate is required to enhance the deep sea ASW operations to meet the PLAN's blue water aspirations.

	USS BATFISH (SS 310) WAR PATROL #6
		My theory on the attack is that the patrol plane launched the torpedo and the one fighter we could not see was spotting us overhead flying down our track.
		Since horizon was darkest to eastward made the attack from that direction and at 2330 fired four Mark 18-2 torpedoes from bow tubes, range 1850 yards, torpedoes set to run at six feet.
		In view of previous success in a night surface attack against a similar target with similar radar, decided to make attack on surface in order to more fully identify her as she was believed to be a Japanese submarine.

	At our wharves - HMAS Advance
		The Attack class reflects a stage in the development of high-speed patrol boat design, which had moved away from short range, petrol driven timber craft to medium range diesel vessels.
		In that time she helped shadow a Russian fishing ship suspected of spying, dispersed large numbers of illegal foreign fishing boats, weathered Cyclone Tracey in 1974 assisted in hydrographic surveys fo the north west coast and starred in the popular ABC TV Patrol Boat series.
		Advance was transferred to the Museum in an operational condition and is still used by the museum to participate in maritime events on Sydney Harbour and at other ports.

	Coast Guard Security Guards
		Before Boatswain's Mate 2nd Class Melissa Steinman can maneuver her 25-foot Transportable Security Boat away from the dock to start a patrol of the Kuwaiti port of Ash Shuaiba the weapons are inspected and the critical mechanical systems must first be checked by her two crewmembers.
		As the coxswain, she is responsible for the safety of her crew and ensuring that her boat is capable of operating during the eight hours of a security patrol.
		Steinman and her two crewmembers, Machinery Technician 2nd Class Mike Ransdell, 32, and Boatswain's Mate 3rd Class Robby Peterson, 24, both from Clearwater, Fla., are part of Coast Guard Port Security Unit (PSU) 307 from St. Petersburg, Fla., deployed to Ash Shauiba since February.

	Republican Shipyards Type 13 Blackshark Heavy Patrol Ship
		These new vessels would be known as Blackshark Class Patrol Boats, in honor of the vessel lost south of Wa-Daisho earlier in the year.
		The daughter of one of the crewmen lost to the Horune during the attack on the Blackshark, was the one who was permitted to break the bottle over the bow of the vessel - in honor of her father, and those who were lost in that tragedy.
		Weapon Bonus: The cannons are installed with a specialized system known as 'weapon stabilization', meaning that as the boat pitches, yaws, and rolls, the guns will retain their aim on the target making it MUCH easier to target an enemy vessel providing a +2 to strike, in addition to any other bonuses applicable.
