RKS Teanoai

RKS Teanoai (301) is a Pacific Forum-class patrol boat operated by the Republic of Kiribati Police. Teanoai is 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 km exclusive economic zone for all maritime nations.

Teanoai will be replaced by the larger and more capable Guardian-class patrol vessel RKS Teanoai II in late 2020, postponed to July 2021.

Operational history
In 2006 Teanoai worked with the Greenpeace ship MV Esperanza on fishery patrol.

In February 2018 Teanoai and RMIS Lomor performed a joint patrol of their waters. On November 7, 2019, Teanoai rendezvoused with USCGC Stratton. The vessels' crews engaged in boarding exercises, including both Stratton's pursuit boat, and her on-board helicopter.
