The Sentry-class, or P-60 class, is a class of patrol boats that were operated by both the Kivuian Navy, and the Kivuian Coast Guard. They were designed for quick actions in coastal waters. Among their main features were high speed and low draught, which together with good artillery allowed it to effectively carry out its missions.
