PRIMARY ROLES
Mastery of the littoral cannot be presumed. It does not derive directly from command of the high seas. It is an objective which requires our focused skills and resources. ONUK MRTP34 “Fast Patrol / Attack Craft” has been designed for this purpose, capable of carrying out a wide range of littoral and coastal water law enforcement-naval duties and open sea rescue, including:

• Patrol / Escort / Fast attack
• Anti-piracy
• Anti-terrorist protection of the coastal and offshore installations
• Surveillance / Covert surveillance
• Search and rescue
• Anti-smuggling
• Pollution control

As it can be seen in these pictures, both of these do not carry that missile launcher, not even the gun.

For some unknown reasons, PN seemed not so sure about why they bough these boats, patrol boats or attack/assault crafts. They also do not have the main gun or the two secondary 12.7mm machines guns in any of the released pictures.
So essentially you can consider it a patrol boat meant for patrolling coastal waters, even in this role, the effectiveness with out the main and secondary guns is questionable.

Please note that the PS01 and PS02 are MRTP-15 and not 33!
