Honduras, a country in Central America, with seaside in both oceans, has the most powerful navy in that part of the world. I will try to depict the most representative vessels of FNH or Honduras Naval Force.
The flagship is OPV General Trinidad Cabañas, an Israeli-built 62-mt vessel, armed with a 30 mm automatic gun and a pair of 0.50 MG, all with stabilizied mounts with optronic central controls. Equiped with an helipad without hangar, is capable to operate a BO-105 helicopter. Is also equiped with two RIHB interceptor boats. Cheers.

Good morning, guys.

A trio of vessels: First, the most modern LCU of the naval force is a Colombian-made BAL-C. And a pair of well known patrol boats: a Boston Whaler and the Damen Interceptor. Cheers.

Good morning, guys.

A pair of good Damen made patrol vessels of FNH. In several sources I had read that the class is armed with a Typhoon unmanned 30 mm gun, but I never saw a photograph with that weapon system instaled (and any picture will be welcomed ;) ). Cheers.

A pair of Swiftboats 105-ft in Honduran services:

Guaymuras had the cabin locally modified in recent years.

The biggest FNH vessels during the 1980s, 90s and early XXI century was a pair of 106-Ft boats built by a now defunct shipyard, Lantana.

FNH had an Israeli-built Dabur 65-ft boat and 5 almost identical Swiftboats.

And an interceptor fast boat, of SAFE boats:

Cheers.

Good morning, guys:
Punta Caxinas is a LCU built by Lantana in the 1980s. Rio Aguan is a Defiant 85 patrol boat, a Damen Stan 2606 made in USA. She was transfered to FNH recently (I have not seen any photograph with armament until now) and is currently in the Atlantic (Caribbean) coast. Río Coco in one of the oldest vessels in FNH, is a simplified Peterson Mk.III 65-ft patrol boat. Cheers.

Good morning!
A LCM-8, 3 were built by Swiftboats for Honduras, and a numerically important type, Lantana 36-ft patrol boat, both for inshore and coastal roles. Cheers.
