About this Ranking
Patrol vessels protect territorial waters, enforce maritime boundaries, and combat piracy and smuggling. While smaller than frigates, modern patrol vessels often carry missiles and sophisticated sensors. This ranking compares nations by their patrol boat and offshore patrol vessel inventories.
