Ship project history: Patrol and guard boats which were a part of the Gouvernementmarine, type "P" were slow-speed, and type "S" were fast. Built on colonial wharfs under own projects, slightly improved from a series to a series.
Modernizations: None.
Naval service: All boats were lost or have been destroyed by crews during time of Japanese offensive. Later Japanese had been salvaged and commissioned P1, 4. Both in 1945 were returned to the Netherlands and, presumably, in 1950 — 1951 were transferred to Indonesia.
