About the Fast Patrol Boat Perkasa

Vosper & Company was a British shipbuilding firm founded in 1871
and came to specialize in small craft. During WWII, the company
became well known for their motor torpedo boat designs.After the
war, Vosper continued to develop small fast patrol craft, one of
which was the Brave Class. These boats were equipped with 3
Bristol Proteus engines, which powered the boat to top speeds of
over 50 knots. They were armed with one 40mm Bofors cannon, two
20mmOerlikon cannons, and four torpedoes. The Perkasa was one of
several Brave Class boats exported to the Royal Malaysian Navy.
