2Reported holdingsHamilton-class cutter · reported variants · Sri Lanka NavyEstimate · Period Source snapshot 2026-09-30 · inventory date unstated · Wikipedia list · original not yet checked
Count scope
Reported count for Hamilton class. Service scope: Sri Lanka Navy; does not replace a national total. 1 distinct count cell(s) from the same source list; shared rowspan cells counted once. Retired, wholly reserve and on-order rows are excluded; the reported count retains any explicitly mixed stock scope in the quoted row. Count column(s): total: 2. Origin: unstated. The listed variants/roles are the scope, not an immediately deployable count. The components do not establish one inventory census date; the stored date is the retrieved source snapshot.
Vietnam
3Reported holdingsHamilton-class cutter · reported variants · Coast GuardEstimate · Period November 2025 IISS assessment · Single source
Count scope
Coast Guard exact named equipment holdings of Hamilton (ex-US). Active, operational-reserve and training units excluding equipment in store; November 2025 IISS assessment. Named service only, not a national or parent-force total or combat-readiness measure. Source role(s): PATROL AND COASTAL COMBATANTS / PSOH. No heading aggregate, carried armament, crew, payload, factory production or future order count inherited. The source declares a separate Coast Guard subsection within Gendarmerie & Paramilitary. The leading printed inventory count is retained; separately stated extra reserve, nonoperational or repair quantities inside parentheses are not added to it and remain verbatim in the excerpt. Source parentheses retain employment, lease, reporting designation, alternate model, or included-subset scopes exactly. Own fetched primary and alternate/model identity declarations are retained. Numbers inside an included subset are part of the printed count and are never added again; no sibling or parent specification is copied.
