The Scimitar-class is a class of fast patrol boat in service with the British Royal Navy. The two vessels of this class are of a commercial design known as the Lifespan Patrol Vessel (LPV) built by Halmatic (now VT Halmatic), and formerly served in an inshore waterways anti-terrorist role in Northern Ireland. They were acquired for the Royal Navy in 2003 for service with the Gibraltar Squadron, releasing two Archer-class boats that had filled this role for service with the Cyprus Squadron.
