	Maritime patrol - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Maritime patrol is critical in wartime situations for navies to locate enemy forces to engage or defend against.
		Maritime patrols can be conducted by surface ships and submarines, by aircraft and other aerial vehicles, and even by satellites.
		Patrol vessels are often specialized for a certain type of mission, such as anti-submarine patrol.

	RNZAF - Maritime Patrol Force
		The Maritime Patrol Force plays a big part in military tasks such as maritime surveillance, reconnaissance, and anti-surface vessel and anti-submarine warfare.
		The Maritime Patrol Force is also responsible for long range search and rescue, mostly searching for ships and yachts in distress.
		Patrols are often long, tiring and carried out in arduous conditions with high crew work rates.

	The Jakarta Post - The Journal of Indonesia Today
		Maritime terrorism, by definition, is any illegal act directed against ships, their passengers, cargo or crew, or against sea ports with the intent of influencing a government.
		Such a possibility should prompt the three states to seek outside help, meaning that it may be in the best interest of maritime powers to view maritime piracy and terrorism as a single issue to urge the reluctant states bordering the strait to let others pursue pirates and terrorists in their territorial waters.
		The arguments for a coordinated patrol is strategically weak, in the sense that their fear of perceived challenges to their sovereignty -- particularly on the part of Malaysia and Indonesia -- has apparently been allowed to override military logic.

	USS Pampanito - The Fourth War Patrol
		The submarines patrolled in parallel lanes with Sea Raven to the west of Pampanito and Pipefish and Sea Cat to the east.
		As the pack moved to the extreme western edge of the patrol area Fenno anticipated frequent visits from patrolling enemy planes so he switched to a submerged patrol routine during daylight hours.
		The patrol had been a long one both in terms of time and miles: she had been out sixty-three days, covering 16,406 miles.

	Army Times - Navy aircraft: Maritime patrol plane became Coasties’ ‘angel’
		In the 1930s, sailors and Coast Guardsmen flew a biplane flying boat that was intended for maritime patrol but frequently became a kind of guardian angel, performing humanitarian rescues at sea.
		They equipped Patrol Squadron 8 in San Diego from 1932 to 1937 and were later used for training duties.
		The bigger user of the Hall patrol planes was the Coast Guard, which acquired seven PH-2 models beginning in June 1936, after the planemaker moved to Bristol, Pa. The PH-2s were the largest aircraft ever operated by the Coast Guard at that time.

		The Council agreed that enforcement operations by NATO maritime forces could commence, in co-ordination with WEU forces in the Adriatic.
		In order to enforce strict compliance with the terms of Security Council resolutions 713 and 757, all ships bound to or from the territorial waters of Yugoslavia (Serbia and Montenegro) were halted to inspect and verify their cargoes and destinations, as well as all ships proceeding to all other ports of the former Yugoslavia.
		Furthermore, the NATO and French airborne radar aircraft, concurrent with the assistance to Maritime Guard forces, continued their monitoring operations in support of UN Security Council Resolution 781, which established a ban on military flights in the air space of Bosnia-Herzegovina.

		The maritime patrol aircraft (MPA) has been a prime example of this flexibility, with the addition of new missions, mission systems and weapons that are optimised for littoral and overland operations.
		Traditional roles were not neglected with MPA conducting maritime surveillance in protection of the forward-deployed carrier strike groups in the Persian Gulf and the Arabian Sea.
		This brief look at maritime patrol aviation in the 21st century has concentrated on the changing roles of the MPA and an increased requirement to interact with other platforms in differing environments.

	Patrol bomber - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A patrol bomber, or patrol aircraft, is an fixed-wing aircraft designed to operate for long times over water in an anti-shipping or anti-submarine role.
		Many of the World War II patrol aircraft were converted from long-range bombers or airliners, with notable conversions being Germany's Focke-Wulf Condor and the widespread use of B-24 Liberators during World War II to patrol the areas between Iceland and Greenland and attack German submarines.
		A maritime patrol aircraft typically carries a dozen or so crew members, including relief flight crews, in order to effectively operate all the equipments for up to 12 hours at a time.
