The Jerung-class gunboat is a class of gunboats in service with the Royal Malaysian Navy. This class is based on the same design as the Template:Sclass- in service with Argentine Navy, the Lurssen FPB/TNC-45 fast attack craft and are built by Hong-Leong Lurssen Shipyards.[1] The Jerong class is equipped only with 57 mm and 40 mm guns for close-in combat and fire support, unlike other fast attack crafts in Malaysian service which are armed with anti-ship missiles. Peacetime duties include patrol of the exclusive economic zone, interception of illegal immigrants and anti-piracy operations.[1] They are too small and under-armed for use in conventional warfare or in open waters.
