The Jamaican Coast Guard operates three County Class Offshore Patrol Vessels, based on the Damen Stan 4207 design of patrol vessels.[1][2][3][4][5] The three vessels are the HMJS Cornwall, HMJS Middlesex, and HMJS Surrey. They were delivered in 2005 and 2006.
Like some of the patrol vessels of other nations built to the Damen Stan 4207 design the Jamaican vessels are equipped with a stern launching ramp, capable of deploying and retrieving a small jet boat, for rescue or pursuit.[6]
The vessels' bridge electronics were supplied by Alphatron Marine.[7]

I wonder what they cost?.
The Damen 4207 is used by many national coast guards/navy including the USCG. She's a light weather patrol boat of about 400 GT (gross tons). She can make 30 kts(34mph) on a good day She lightly armed and armored as she's not a war ship but an interdiction/patrol vessel so she ain't gonna fight no warships. However she will evoke fear if she's chasing you in a small boat loaded up with..........
In Jamaica she's called a "county class" patrol vessel and are named for the three counties. Cornwall, Middlesex and Surry are the names of the three Jamaican counties.....
Did you know Jamaica has parishes inside of counties?
