The P-70 class, is a class of midsized patrol boats designed and constructed by Bluefront Inc. for the Kivuian Navy. They were originally designed to be fast attack craft, but a lack of anti-ship missiles limited their capabilities in this function. In 1990, they were transferred to the Kivuian Coast Guard.
