The Patrol vessel Poponquine is a Senegalese Navy vessel.[1] She has served on joint patrols with United States vessels.
In August of 2009 she and the USCGC Legare used one another as the target of boarding parties.[2]
In late November, 2023, the Poponquine seized 3 tonnes of cocaine from a smuggling vessel.[3]
