The '''Super Dvora Mark II-class patrol boats''' is a high-speed [[Ship class|class]] of [[patrol boat]]s meant for a variety of naval missions from typical off-shore coastal patrol mission profiles to high-speed, high-maneuver [[Littoral zone|littoral]] warfare. Built by [[Israel Aerospace Industries]] for the [[Israeli Sea Corps]], the Super Dvora Mark II is the successor to the {{sclass2|Dvora|fast patrol boat|2}}s. The Super Dvora Mark IIs have been employed by the [[Sri Lanka Navy]] to counter [[LTTE]] operations at sea.

== Design and construction ==
{{convert|25.4|m|ft}} in length, the Super Dvora II has a marine aluminum alloy planing hull in order to maintaining high standards of sea-keeping, maneuverability and static/dynamic intact/damaged stability in adverse environments.

=== Armament ===
Originally the main armament of the Super Dvora Mark II design was the [[Oerlikon 20 mm cannon]] which were manually operated. At present all Super Dvora Mark II types have been modified to allow for the installation of [[Typhoon Weapon System|Typhoon 25-30 mm stabilized cannon]] which can be slaved to state-of the art mast-mounted, day/night, long-range electro-optic systems. In addition to its main armament, Super Dvora Mark IIs carry heavy or light machine guns, depending on the operational requirements.

Sri Lankan Navy Super Dvora Mark IIs carry additional weapon systems such as [[Automatic Grenade Launcher]]s, [[general purpose machine gun|GPMGs]] & [[Heavy Machine Gun|HMGs]].
