The Royal Navy’s Offshore Patrol Vessels (OPVs) are versatile warships that play a crucial role in maintaining Britain's global maritime presence. Measuring 90 metres in length — roughly the size of two Olympic swimming pools — these capable ships are designed to operate for more than 300 days a year. Their mission? Tackling drug smuggling, piracy, and terrorism at sea, offering support and reassurance to inhabitants of the UK’s Overseas Territories, providing humanitarian assistance, working with allied and partner navies, and generally flying the flag for Britain.
