2x 7.62mm(.30-cal.) machine guns HMBS Leonard C Banfield (P 02) is patrol vessel of the Barbados Coast Guard. |url-status = dead She was commissioned on 14 September 2007. She is built to the design of the Damen Group's Stan 4207 patrol vessel, a class of 42 m 240 ton vessels.

According to Aviation Week the vessel and her sister ships primary armament was a non-lethal water cannon, but she was also armed with machine guns. They reported she was capable of 26 kn and had an at sea endurance of 4 days. She is built to withstand sea state 8 conditions. She was built in the Netherlands at Damen′s Gorinchem Shipyards.

She and her sister ships are equipped with a stern launching ramp, like some other cutters built to Damen designs. The stern launching ramp allows a water-jet–powered pursuit boat to be launched and retrieved without bringing the cutter to a halt.

Aviation Week reports that the local Barbadian Press reported the vessels cost $6 million each. The HMBS Leonard C. Banfield is the first in a class that also includes the HMBS Rudyard Lewis, commissioned on the 13 of September 2008, and the HMBS Trident, commissioned on the 25 of April 2009.
