Patrouilleurs Hauturiers (English: Offshore Patrol Vessel), often shortened to PH, is a program to design and build 10 long-range patrol boats for the French Navy. Formerly known as the Patrouilleurs Océanique (PO) program, the ships will replace various aging patrol vessels in a wide variety of tasks off France. Development began in 2020 and construction will occur in two batches, with all ships expected to be in service by 2035.
