Gunboats ~ Shipbuilding History

Gunboats

(PGM, PG, PFMM, PGG, PCG) Built Since WWII

Since WWII, the Navy has built 112 gunboats, 95 of them under the Foreign Military Sales program. This fleet includes 75 Patrol Gunboats Motor (PGM), 5 Patrol Frigates Multi-Mission (PFMM), 9 Patrol Gunboats Guided-Missile (PGG) and 6 Patrol Chasers Guided-Missile (PCG). In addition, the Navy has built 17 Patrol Gunboats (PG) for its own use, but most of these were sold or transferred out after less than ten years of service.
