The Keris class is a series of patrol crafts designed and built for the Royal Malaysian Navy (RMN).
The vessels meet the requirements of Malaysia's marine defense by providing the ability to counter low intensity combat such as anti-piracy and border patrol.
Some of the retired ships were handed over to the Malaysian Maritime Enforcement Agency.
