Pagalo (PG-51) is a patrol vessel operated by the Venezuela Coast Guard.
When she was commissioned in 2008 she was the first warship built in Venezuela. The vessel was built in the UCOCAR shipyards in Puerto Cabello to a version of a design from the Damen Group. Other nations operate similar designs, including the Marine Protector class operated by the United States Coast Guard.
President Hugo Chavez officiated at the vessel's commissioning at La Guaira.
