ARM Veracruz (PO-151) is a Durango-class patrol vessel in the Mexican Navy with a 57mm main gun turret and a helicopter landing pad, currently primarily used to fight drug cartels. It is also armed with SA-18 Grouse missiles. Like other ships of this class, it was designed and built in Mexican dockyards, and is sometimes referred to as a compact frigate.
