The study makes a comparative evaluation of the naval order of battle for nine Middle East and North African States with emphasis on the degree to which reliance on fast patrol craft has been placed. An examination of factors contributing to the development of patrol boat navies is offered with particular attention given to the Arab-Israeli Conflict, Foreign Power Interests, and the move for Arab Independence. Finally, the study serves to illustrate the threat posed by missile-armed patrol craft in emerging navies world-wide.
