According to the Devanagala stone inscription, the military commander of the Kith Nuwaragala received orders to invade Burma with sailors on board a fleet of a thousand ships. Those ships were not imported from other countries but were manufactured with the sweat of our great forefathers. Rejuvenating the history, the Navy has begun to manufacture small fast attack craft to meet its own requirements because of the heavy capital expenditure involved in its importation and the non-availability of such craft according to its specific needs in the open market. After the lapse of nine centuries, setting the inaugural step in the process of manufacturing a small craft of this nature, the Navy unveiled its first ever small fast attack craft in the latter part of the year 2006. Armed with this small fast attack craft with modern weaponry on board, the Special Boat Squadron (SBS) and the Rapid Action Boat Squadron (RABS) are today fully engaged in safeguarding the territorial integrity of the motherland. Without stopping there, naval engineers, setting forth another novel stride forward, have been able to fortify naval troops by producing an inshore patrol craft capable of operating in shallow waters. We believe that they deserve the Nation’s salute for being able to produce such a craft locally, spending a nominal expenditure as against its high cost in the open market.courtesy: navy.lk Sri Lanka Navy launches its 100th Small Fast Attack Craft  download link <a href="http://www.navy.lk/assets/files/video/sri_lanka_navy_launches_its_100th_small_fast_attack_craft.wmv" target="_blank">http://www.navy.lk/assets/files/video/sri_lanka_navy_launches_its_100th_small_fast_attack_craft.wmv</a></blockquote>
