The Saryu class of offshore patrol vessels (OPV) are advanced patrol ships of the Indian Navy built at the Goa Shipyard Limited. These vessels are capable of ocean surveillance and monitoring and can maintain control of shipping lanes. They can also be deployed to provide security to offshore oil installations, and other naval assets.{{cite web|url=https://www.livemint.com/Politics/7KDuhoPaUx2xCmTElroRhN/Indian-navy-launches-patrol-vessel.html|title=Indian navy launches patrol vessel|work=Mint|publisher=HT Media|agency=Press Trust of India|date=30 March 2009|access-date=12 January 2013|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090604194832/http://www.livemint.com/2009/03/30155650/Indian-navy-launches-patrol-ve.html|archive-date=4 June 2009|df=dmy-all}}
