Was the MD-11 used for maritime patrol?

A quick operator check separates the possibility of converting an airliner from evidence of an actual patrol variant.

Question

Was the MD-11 used as a maritime-patrol aircraft?

Short answer

No example is identified in the live operator check; a possible conversion is not evidence of an operational variant.

Notes

No military maritime-patrol user appears in the live check of MD-11 operators. Conversion is considered conceivable, but no example is supplied. The proposed role therefore remains hypothetical in this exchange.
