The PGM-39-class gunboats, designated Patrol Gunboat, Motor by the United States Navy were a class of fifty nine gunboats constructed in various shipyards from 1959–1970. The design was based on the United States Coast Guard {{sclass2-|Cape|cutter|1}} design with a {{convert|5|ft|adj=on|spell=in}} hull extension. It was specifically designed for the U.S. Military Assistance Program and was used by the navies of The Philippines, Indonesia, South Vietnam, Thailand, Burma, Ethiopia, and Ecuador. The members of this class of gunboats are: PGM-51 to PGM-83 PGM-91 PGM-102 to PGM-108 PGM-111 to PGM-117 PGM-122 to PGM-124 The first vessel (PGM-39) of the class was used by the Philippine Navy as BRP Agusan (PG 61). The other Philippine Navy units were PGM-40 as BRP Catanduanes (PG 62), PGM-41 as BRP Romblon (PG 63), PGM-42 as BRP Palawan (PG 64), and PGM-83 as BRP Basilan (PG 60) ex-RVN Hon Troc (HQ 618). Only BRP Palawan (PG 64) is still in operation now but with the Philippine Coast Guard. The PGM-39 class has varied weapons mix of 40 mm and 20 mm cannon, 12.7 mm machine guns, and 81mm mortar. Some of these PGMs are still in service in various capacities. However, the galvanic reaction between the steel hull and aluminum superstructure of the boat in seawater creates maintenance problems. The {{sclass-|Asheville|gunboat|1}} resulted from modification studies of the PGM-39 class. Sources
