South African Navy (SAN): Warrior-class Multi-Mission Inshore Patrol Vessels (MMIPV)
The South African Navy's (SAN) Warrior-class Multi-Mission Inshore Patrol Vessels (MMIPV) are a class of modern, versatile warships designed to enhance maritime security within South Africa's Exclusive Economic Zone. These are a new class of patrol vessels designed to operate in both shallow inshore waters and the high seas, with a wide range of capabilities including border protection, search and rescue, mine countermeasures, diving, and disaster relief. The first three vessels, the SAS King Sekhukhune I, SAS King Shaka Zulu, and SAS Adam Kok III, have been delivered and named.
