Offshore patrol vessel. Usually meant for coast guard-type duties, but can also be armed for conventional navy roles.
The Super Dvoras are still fast and small patrol craft. Your average OPV or corvette would be about thrice the length and 10 times the displacement of a Super Dvora.
Don’t the Israelis use the Devora and Super Devora as OPVs?
Aren’t these models basically the grandkids of the old WWII PT boats and similar to the ones used in Vietnam?
Thanks for the information.
