RKS Teanoai (301) is a Pacific Forum-class patrol boat operated by the Republic of Kiribati Police. Teanoai is one of twenty-two small patrol vessels Australia designed and built for smaller fellow members of the Pacific Forum, after the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea extended control of a 200-kilometre (108 nmi) exclusive economic zone for all maritime nations.[2][3]
Teanoai will be replaced by the larger and more capable Guardian-class patrol vessel Teanoai II in late 2020, postponed to July 2021.[4]
