汶萊皇家海軍的達魯薩蘭級(Darussalam-class)巡邏艦(OPV-09)介紹
由德國魯爾森(Lürssen)造船公司為汶萊打造的巡邏艦，約1600噸，武裝波佛斯(Bofors)57砲、4枚飛魚反艦飛彈(Exocet MM40 Block 3)、STING-EO Mk2火控雷達、Zeiss MEOS II 電戰系統，擁有飛行甲板提供直升機停靠，動力引擎使用兩具MTU 12V，可產生11,400馬力
汶萊皇家海軍於1961年成立，前身是「汶萊皇家馬來兵團」(Askar Melayu Brunei)1984年1月1日汶萊獨立後，成為國家的軍隊，但這個國家缺乏軍事打擊或實戰經驗，陸軍是主要戰力，相較於空軍與海軍卻顯得規模較小，最近已積極參與國際性的人道主義與維持和平任務的區域部署行動，汶萊也廣泛與新加坡進行軍事交流
汶萊擁有天然氣和石油為主要資源貿易的收入支出，是世界上最富有的國家之一，總人口約41萬，三分之二為馬來人，其他有少數地方原住民和華人，國家信奉伊斯蘭教
近年來，汶萊因受到南海爭議問題下，為了維護僅有的南海出海口利益，除了與中國積極外交談判外，也力圖強化海軍空軍戰力，目前投資了上億美金打造小型卻有戰鬥力現代海軍，不輸其他東南亞國家
