	River class patrol vessel - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The River class is a class of three offshore patrol vessels in the Royal Navy, replacing the six ships of the Island class.
		Instead they were constructed under an arrangement with the shipbuilder, Vosper Thornycroft, which sees the Navy charter the vessels from the shipbuilder, with the shipbuilder responsible for all maintenance and support for the ships during the period of the charter.
		A modified vessel, HMS Clyde is under construction at Portsmouth Dockyard, to replace the two vessels of the Castle-class in the Falkland Islands.

	Patrol boat - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A patrol boat is a small naval vessel generally designed for coastal defence duties.
		They may be operated by a nation's navy, coast guard, or even police force and may be intended for marine (blue water) and/or estuarine or river (brown water) environments.
		Patrol boats are typically around 30m (100 ft) in length and usually carry a single gun as main armament, along with a variety of lighter secondary armament such as machine guns.

	AMI International - Definitions of Vessel Types
		By virtue of its mission, an OPV must be relatively large (generally over 700 tons) to possess the necessary range and seakeeping characteristics needed for extended offshore patrols.
		An OPV is often built to commercial standards and is slower (generally around 20 knots) than its corvette and frigate cousins.
		Offshore patrol vessels will have slower speed, less armament, and greater space for provisions and habitability thereby allowing for greater endurance and range.

		Any ice-strengthened vessel would be reliant to a large extent, as the fishing vessels are, on an icebreaker operated by another country to gain access to the Ross Sea.

		The Flower corvette was originally designed for offshore patrol work, and was not an ideal design for an anti-submarine escort; they were really too short for open ocean work, lightly armed for AA defence, and little faster than the merchantmen they escorted (a particular problem given the faster German U-boat designs then emerging).
		Around the same time, navies operated by smaller countries, such as the United Arab Emirates, began to realize that their offshore patrol vessels were lacking the ability to defend themselves in a modern war, especially against air attacks.
		A similar vessel is the KÄ±lÄ±Ã§ class fast attack missile boat of the Turkish Navy which is classified as a corvette by LÃ¼rssen Werft, the German designer of the ship.

		Aker Yards Marine has developed a suite of OPV designs, ranging in size from 25 to 90 metres, with varying operational and performance capabilities, to meet the requirements of clients around the world.
		Traditionally, OPV's have been designed to the same military standards applied to surface combatants, whose primary function has been to deliver a sophisticated long range weapons package using a vessel as small and as light as possible.
		The result is a robust offshore patrol vessel, which is more cost effective than similar size surface combatants designed in the traditional way.

		A glance at the Offshore Patrol Vessel comparison tables shows that most current OPV operators employ shipboard helicopters in the 5t range.
		Whether a lack of folding blades is a problem or not very much depends upon the style of OPV chosen by DND.[2] If helicopters are to be permanently based onboard – and this is often not the case with other navies –; a hangar is required for maintenance and storage.
		On smaller OPVs, that space could be dedicated to larger landing decks – useful if a larger helicopter needed to land-on, allowing OPVs to accomodate Sea Kings, Cyclones, and even over-extended SAR Cormorants in need of re-fuelling at sea.
