The Tomas Batilo class was a ship class of eight patrol boats that were previously service of the Philippine Navy. These ships were formerly used by the South Korean Navy as Chamsuri/Wildcat (PKM-200 series) class fast attack crafts. All eight ships have been retired from active service, with two units lost in separate incidents while the rest are in different states of disposal.
