patrol vessels
Maritime security boats
Patrol vessels are boats or small ships used by military, coast guard, or law enforcement to monitor and police waterways.
They conduct surveillance, intercept smugglers, enforce fishing regulations, and respond to emergencies.
Larger than patrol boats but smaller than warships, they typically operate in coastal waters, harbors, and territorial seas: The navy deployed patrol vessels to secure the shipping lanes.
