The Lake class patrol vessel was a class of patrol vessels built in 1974 for the Royal New Zealand Navy by the British boat builders Brooke Marine.
There were four boats in the class:[1]
- HMNZS Pukaki (1975) (P3568)
- HMNZS Rotoiti (1975) (P3569)
- HMNZS Taupo (1975) (P3570)
- HMNZS Hawea (1975) (P3571)
All the boats were commissioned in 1975 and deleted in 1991

[edit] Notes
- ^ The year of commissioning is used here instead of the pennant numbers because the new Protector class inshore patrol vessels use the same names and the same pennant numbers. Apparently this has happened in the past in the Royal Navy and the practice is continued on the grounds that it is a tradition.
