The 'Azteca-class patrol vessel' are used by the Mexican Navy. They were designed and built by the British companies [T.T. Boat Designs Ltd; Built by Ailsa Shipbuilding Co. Ltd., Scott & Sons, Bowling; Lamont & Co. Ltd.] and [Vera Cruz and Salina Cruz] Shipyards for the Mexican Navy in 1976 - 1980. [See Jane's Fighting Ships 1985-1986]. They are multi-role patrol craft with good nautical characteristics. Original units were powered by Paxman diesels of either 3,600 hp (2,700 kW) or 4,800 hp (3,600 kW). Original units were named with pre-Hispanic tribal names.
