-The '''{{Specs|name}} (N°822)''' is a variant on the Italian [[Sparviero]] hydrofoil missile boat for the JMSDF. The PG 02 is the 2nd in class out of 3 vessels. The JMSDF came to an agreement with Italy to license build up to 12 Sparviero's, but opted for alternative Japanese armament instead; They switched out the OTO Melara gun for a [[JM61 (20 mm)]] Vulcan cannon and switching out the OTOMATs for Type 90 Ship-To-Ship Missiles. While construction of the 3rd boat was delayed in favour for Gulf War contributions, with further hydrofoil construction rejected and abandoned.

It was removed from sale after the [[wt:en/news/7013-shop-new-year-sale-en|2020 New Year sale]] and was reintroduced in 2021 as a premium vehicle purchasable in-game with Golden Eagles {{ge}} in [[Update "Ixwa Strike"]]. It is a fast, powerful and very agile fighting ship that could be compared to a piranha; it's very fast and agile, with speeds up to 129 km/h in Arcade and 96 km/h in Realistic battles. Equipped with a very deadly 6-barreled 20 mm JM61 rotary cannon with 3,000 rounds of ammunition mounted on the deck, and a Mark 36 SRBOC decoy system with 12 smoke rounds.

 It's very important to note that the ammunition can be consumed very rapidly, as the cannon was designed to fire 3,000 rounds per minute! It requires up to 23 seconds to reload and the fastest reload with an ace crew qualification is 20 seconds. It's very important to make every burst count, for example targeting other torpedo ships, the fastest way to sink them is to aim for the torpedoes which will detonate and cause the enemy ship to explode and sink!
-One of the additional valuable advantages the PG 02 has is its radar. The radar is able to identify and direct you towards enemy units.
+One of the additional valuable advantages the PG 02 has is its radar. The radar is able to target enemy aerial units and predict their lead.
 Dealing with larger targets such as Armoured Gun Boats or Frigates, these are heavily armoured and pack powerful cannons, which can easily destroy the PG 02 in a single shot with a well placed HE round.
