The "WASPADA" class of fast missile boats were built by Vosper Thornycroft, Singapore, for the seaward defence of the British protectorate state of Brunei. Built on Vospers standard 37metre hull, these 150ton craft are powered by twin MTU. diesels of 9,000shp to give a top speed of 32 knots. There are three vessels in the class "WASPADA" commissioned July 1978, `Pejuang PO3 & `Seteria PO4 both commissioned 1979.
