Jan Mayen-class patrol vessel equipment records. Variants, orders and quantities are shown as reported in each inventory source; coverage is incomplete.
Coast Guard exact named class holdings of Jan Mayen (capacity 2 med hel). 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 Navy. The own fetched design source declares this exact class and its PDF operator country; ship capacities and fitted launcher/armament counts are retained as source scope, not added to hull quantities.
Reported count for Jan Mayen class. Service scope: Outer Coast Guard; does not replace a national total. 1 distinct quantity component(s) from the same source list; shared rowspan cells counted once. Explicit source inventory scope: active; no other stock status or total inferred. Count column(s): in service: 3. Origin: Norway. 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.
