The Sentinel-class Maritime Security and Response Vessels provide more calibrated options to respond to maritime incidents and offer greater persistence to protect Singapore's territorial waters. These vessels create flexibility for the Singapore government and Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) to meet the increased demands from maritime security threats that have grown in scale and complexity.

Installed with a range of calibrated capabilities, these refurbished ex-Fearless-class patrol vessels will be operated by the Maritime Security and Response Flotilla as a start, while new purpose-built vessels are being built.

Maritime Security and Response Flotilla:
The MSRF will be responsible to develop and operate calibrated capabilities to provide the Singapore government and Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) with more options to respond to maritime incidents. The capabilities raised by the MSRF will provide flexibility to meet the increased demands and a wider scope of maritime security operations, and offer greater persistence to protect Singapore's territorial waters. The MSRF will form an important part of the restructured Maritime Security Command.

The MSRF will operate new purpose-built vessels from 2026. As a start, the flotilla will operate four Sentinel-class Maritime Security and Response Vessels (MSRVs). It will also operate two Maritime Security and Response Tugboats (MSRTs). In line with other international maritime security agencies, these vessels will all bear red "racing" stripes on their bow.
