OPV (naval)
An offshore patrol vessel (OPV), sometimes referred to as a coastal patrol craft, is a warship typically smaller in size than a Corvette and can include fast attack craft, torpedo boats and missile boats, although some are as large as a Frigate. They are usually the smallest ship in a Navy's fleet that are large and seaworthy enough to patrol off-shore, in the open ocean.
