The private media too has been invited to cover the event.SLNS Samudura (formerly of the US Coast Guard, "Courages"), SLNS Suranimala (formerly of the Israel Defence Force), SLNS Shakthi(acquired from China) and SLNS Sayura, Sri Lanka's flagship-the first vessel bought from India had been involved in the latest operation.The SLN deployed two other vessels to re-fuel the four-ship task force which carried out the two-day operation over 600 nautical miles southeast of Sri Lanka early last week.</blockquote>
