• Source: RKS Teanoai

RKS Teanoai (301) was a Pacific Forum-class patrol boat operated by the Republic of Kiribati Police. Teanoai was one of twenty-two small patrol vessels Australia designed and built for smaller fellow members of the Pacific Forum, after the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea extended control of a 200-kilometre (108 nmi) exclusive economic zone for all maritime nations.
Teanoai was replaced by the larger and more capable Guardian-class patrol vessel Teanoai II in May 2021, and decommissioned thereafter.




Operational history


In 2006 Teanoai worked with the Greenpeace ship Esperanza on fishery patrol.
In February 2018 Teanoai and RMIS Lomor performed open ocean exercises and a joint patrol of their waters. On November 7, 2019, Teanoai rendezvoused with USCGC Stratton. The vessels' crews engaged in boarding exercises, with Stratton's pursuit boat, and her on-board helicopter both being used.
