Peacock Class Offshore Patrol Vessels

The five Peacock Class Offshore Patrol Vessels were ordered in 1981 to replace the ageing converted Ton Class Minesweepers as Hong Kong Patrol vessels. Built by Hall Russell in Aberdeen they were not unlike the Castle Class in design, although smaller, faster and better armed. They marked a significant improvement in capability over the vessels they replaced, being capable of operating in the Far East, outside local Hong Kong waters.

Three quarters of the construction coasts were paid for by the Hong Kong government. Upon completion, Peacock and Plover sailed from Portsmouth in autumn 1984 and reached the colony in late November. They were followed joined by Swallow, Swift and Starling and were based at HMS Tamar,

The class was designed specifically for patrol duties in Hong Kong waters. As well as ‘flying the flag’ and providing a constant naval presence in region, they could undertake a number of different roles including Seamanship, Navigation and Gunnery training and Search-and-Rescue duties for which they had facilities to carry divers (including a decompression chamber) and equipment to recover vessels and aircraft. They also worked with the Marine Department of the Hong Kong Police and with Customs & Excise in order to prevent the constant flow of illegal immigrants, narcotics and electronic equipment into the Colony.

With a displacement of 652 tons, the Peacock Class measured 62.2 metres in length, 10 metres in beam and 2.72 metres in draught. Powered by two Crossley Pielstick diesels they had a speed of over 25 knots. The Peacock Class were the first warships fitted with the single 76mm Oto Melera Gun and they were also armed with four General Purpose Machine Guns and two rocket launchers amidships. For anti-smuggling and Search-and-Rescue operations they carried two Avon Searider SR5M craft and a small detachment of Royal Marines. Complement consisted of 6 officers and 38 ratings, of which half were usually recruited from the local Hong Kong Chinese population. For work in tropical climates they were fully air conditioned and capable of remaining at sea during Typhoons.

Why the big yellow "36" and what appears to be a yellow warning sign on the side of the Oto Melara Turret?

That sure makes spotting the JCPVs from the air fairly easy. Low Viz paint scheme notwithstanding.

Do the other Classes have the same?

Communication Key to SEACAT Boarding Exercises | U.S. Navy - 26 May 2006

ABOARD USS TORTUGA, South China Sea (NNS) -- Philippine navy visit, board, search and seizure (VBSS) teams boarded USS Tortuga (LSD 46) May 23 and 24 to practice searching for illicit drugs and weapons caches during two Southeast Asian Cooperation Against Terrorism (SEACAT) boarding exercises in the South China Sea.

SEACAT is a weeklong at-sea exercise designed to highlight the value of information sharing and multinational coordination within a scenario that gives participating navies practical maritime interception training opportunities.

In the exercise scenario, Tortuga was suspected of presenting a maritime threat after U.S. Navy P-3 Orion maritime patrol aircraft spotted the mock suspect vessel transporting cargo from another ship while at sea. Working from information received by each country's SEACAT headquarters, and intelligence gathered by the LNOs, a boarding plan for the rogue Tortuga was developed.

"Based on intelligence gathered and analyzed by the combined SEACAT watch team, the Philippine navy dispatched its patrol vessel, Apoliniario Mabini (PS 36)," said Lt. Kirk Lee, SEACAT coordinator on the staff of Destroyer Squadron 1, which leads the U.S. Navy task group taking part in the exercise.

A Philippine navy islander maritime patrol aircraft located Tortuga and passed its position to Apoliniario Mabini. The vessel came alongside Tortuga and launched a rigid-hulled inflatable boat (RHIB) filled with boarding team members who then boarded Tortuga searching for contraband.
 
"The boarding team's dynamics were good. They moved well together and seemed comfortable working together," said Ensign Tom Osborn, a U.S. Coast Guard maritime law enforcement trainer who facilitated the Philippine navy boarding.

Immediately following SEACAT, the five ships will transition into the Cooperation Afloat Readiness and Training (CARAT) exercise series. CARAT will be conducted with the armed forces of the six SEACAT participating nations.

The boarding was a part of Southeast Asia Cooperation Against Terrorism (SEACAT) 2006, a week long at-sea exercise designed to highlight the value of information sharing and multi-national coordination within a scenario that gives participating navies practical maritime interception training opportunities.

Final CARAT Phase Closes in Philippines | U.S. Navy - 21 August 2006

SAN FERNANDO LA UNION, Philippines (NNS) -- A small ceremony at the naval base here, Aug. 21, marked the close of the Philippines phase of exercise Cooperation Afloat Readiness and Training (CARAT).

During the week-long final phase of the 2006 CARAT exercise series, Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) personnel interfaced with U.S. Sailors and Coast Guardsmen in a wide array of training scenarios designed to build skills directly applicable to the combat of seaborne terrorism threats and transnational crimes at sea.

Exercise CARAT is a sequential, bilateral series of exercises with the Southeast Asia nations of Brunei, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore and Thailand designed to enhance regional cooperation, promote understanding and develop operational readiness.

The U.S. CARAT task group was led by Collins, Commander Destroyer Squadron 1. Collins embarked aboard Tortuga, which operates from Sasebo, Japan, as part of the 7th Fleet's Forward Deployed Naval Forces. Collins' staff is based in San Diego. Besides Tortuga, the other CARAT task group ships included USS Hopper (DDG 70), USS Crommelin (FFG 37), USS Salvor (ARS 52) and the USCGC Sherman (WHEC 720). Hopper, Crommelin and Salvor are homeported in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. Sherman is homeported in Alameda, Calif.

Philippine Navy CARAT task group ships included BRP Apolinario Mabini (PS 36), BRP Heracleo Alano (PG 376), BRP Teotimo Figuracion (PG 389) and BRP Bacolod City (LC 550).

5 Chinese held by Navy for poaching in Palawan | The Philippine Daily Inquirer - 03 December 2011

PUERTO PRINCESA—Naval authorities on Thursday arrested five Chinese nationals conducting illegal fishing off Palawan’s southernmost sea corridor in Balabac.

Adm. Rostum Peña, Naval Forces West (Navforwest) commander, said the five were brought to Puerto Princesa on board BRP Apolinario Mabini on Saturday for the filing of charges.

He said the Chinese fishermen were spotted aboard a speed boat some 1.5 nautical miles from the coastal village of Ramos, Balabac, and were captured following a chase by an enforcement team led by a Navy patrol boat.

The Chinese’s boat yielded five live marine turtles, three dead ones and assorted fishing paraphernalia, including butchering tools.

Peña said the arrested Chinese nationals were believed to have come from the mainland China province of Hainan and was part of a bigger fishing fleet which was able to elude arrest.

The Chinese speed boat, according to Navforwest spokesperson Lt. Noel Joseph Cadigal, had two high-powered outboard engines and tried to ram the naval patrol boat before attempting to escape.
