HMTSS Te Mataili II (802) is the second Guardian-class patrol boat completed, and the first to be given to the small Pacific Ocean nation Tuvalu.

[1][2][3] She was commissioned on 5 April 2019, replacing Te Mataili, a Pacific Forum patrol vessel, that had reached the end of her designed lifetime.

[7] Guardian-class vessels were designed to use commercial off-the-shelf components, not cutting edge, military grade equipment, to make them easier to maintain in small isolated shipyards.

[8] Their design allows the recipient nations to mount a pair of heavy machine guns, on either flank, and possibly an autocannon of up to 30 mm (1.2 in), on the foredeck.

In July 2019, Inspector Seleganui Fusi, commanding officer of Te Mataili II, hosted a delegation from Timor, letting them prepare for the arrival of their patrol vessels.
