RSIPV Gizo (05) is a Guardian-class patrol boat in service with the Royal Solomon Islands Police Force Maritime Department.

[7] The patrol boats were built with commercial off-the-shelf-components in order to ease maintenance costs for the island nations.

During a period of ethnic violence, Lata was reportedly commandeered by rebels in June 2000, and used to bombard the capital Honiara.

[13][19] A key design goal being ease of maintenance to accommodate small and isolated shipyards, the class uses commercial off-the-shelf components.

They also have a sick bay with a separate ventilation system, which during normal operations is used as two berths, bringing the total complement up to 23.

They are 6.35 metres (20 ft 10 in) long, with two Yamaha 67 kW (90 hp) outboard motors and an operational weight of 2,612.5 kilograms (5,760 lb).

[13][19] Australia instructed that the boats would be delivered without armament, but they were designed to be capable of mounting an autocannon of up to 30 millimetres (1.2 in) on their foredeck, and a 0.50-calibre machine gun both port and starboard in front of the bridge.
