RSIPV Gizo (05) is a Guardian-class patrol boat in service with the Royal Solomon Islands Police Force Maritime Department. She was the fifth boat of her class to be completed.[1][2][3][4] Australian officials officially handed her over to representatives of the Solomon Islands on 8 November 2019, at the Austal shipyard in Henderson, Western Australia.
She is the first of two Guardian-class vessels that Australia provided to the Solomon Islands, and replaced RSIPV Lata.[5][6] Her sister ship is RSIPV Taro.
