Kedah Class Offshore Patrol Vessel
The Kedah class is a class of offshore patrol vessels, also referred to as New Generation Patrol Vessels, of the Royal Malaysian Navy. The class is named after the lead ship of the class, KD Kedah. The Kedah class is based on the MEKO 100 design by Blohm + Voss. A total of 27 ships were planned; however, due to programme delays and overruns, only six were ordered.

Given to the common enemy of man,
To make them kings, the seeds of Banquo kings!”
