Technical and Historical Data The Federation patrol boat was initially used for enforcing maritime policies in conjunction with Don Escargots and also used in a coast guard function for rescue operations. But with the appearance of Zeon marine mobile suits and submarines, the Federation swiftly modified the patrol boats' roles to that of a screening unit to defend Federation naval assets as well as patrol off the coast of its coastal installations.
