নবীন নাবিকদের শিক্ষা সমাপনী কুচকাওয়াজ অনুষ্ঠিত
বাংলাদেশ নৌবাহিনীর নিজস্ব সক্ষমতায় তৈরি বানৌজা বিশখালী (BNS Biskhali will play a significant role in protecting fisheries, commercial vessels, and the largest mangrove forest--Sundarbans of Khulna. This patrol craft is constructed by Khulna Shipyard.)
I heard that Bangladesh navy is contemplating inducting patrol crafts with a displacement of more than 500 tons. Because of green house effect the Bay of Bengal is getting rough. So, the navy thinks ships with larger displacements are needed to cope with the climate change. By the by, BNS Biskhali is not an LPC but a PC. LPCs have larger displacements.This is the third or fourth of a batch of five LPCs being built for BN. The armament is quite good, with automated 30 mm Smash Gun, from Aselsan Turkey etc. and these are larger than the Padma class, displacing 350 tons as memory serves.
These LPCs are similar (in hull detail and displacement) to a batch of two Coast Guard IPVs (which were built at DEWBN in 2022) which naturally should not be as heavily armed as their BN counterparts (but they are!).
