Patrol boat →Patrol vessel — - Proposed name is more inclusive sincevessel can include ship classes that are styled as "boats" and those styled as "ships". Note that the most-populated category that includes patrol craft isCategory:Patrol vessels, and thatCategory:Patrol boats is a sub-category of it. Note also, that this name will parallel the naming styles used inCategory:Mine warfare vessels andCategory:Amphibious warfare vessels. (Redirect with history prevented me from making the move without discussion.) —Bellhalla (talk)16:49, 24 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I didn't have the opportunity to reply to PMAnderson's comment before the "no consensus" close. So, there's nothing wrong with the phrase "patrol boat" if you are discussing onlyMotor Torpedo Boats orpatrol yachts. However, when discussing a moderncorvettes orfrigates (as opposed to the sail versions of either), you are dealing with types that most people would class asships and notboats.
As for the other pair cited in support, those are great names. But, please note, that "mine warfare vessels" refers to minelayers, minehunters, and mine countermeasures vessels, in addition to minesweepers. Similarly, "amphibious warfare vessels" refers to everything from the aforementioned landing boat toamphibious assault ships (which resemble WWII aircraft carriers in appearance and displacement). —Bellhalla (talk)11:48, 1 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
The term "Cutter" should be mentioned in the introductory material as associated with certain types of patrol vessels, especially as a number of cutters are described later in the examples. I realize that there is a wikipedia article covering cutters in depth, I think a simple mention with a link would be acceptable. I am not an expert in this field, just came here on research and discovered the lack of association.— Precedingunsigned comment added byTwikimk (talk •contribs)12:32, 14 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Acomplicated excision had an inadequate explanation"updated latest class ship". I reverted it. I encourage that contributor to return here and explain their concerns more fully.

Patrol boat →Patrol vessel – Patrol vessel is a more common term to indicate all types of patrol ships or boats. The term boat only used for small patrol craft. There are many dedicated large and heavy ships used for patrol duty including thousand tonnes ships. Some of the ships are more than 100 meters long. The name was chnaged from Patrol vessel to Patrol boat in 2008.Nafis Fuad Ayon (talk)01:48, 4 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The classification of a patrol boat is often subjective, but they are generally small naval vessels that are used to patrol national waters or a certain jurisdiction, so the argument based on "size" also not be relevant here.Ckfasdf (talk)07:45, 4 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
