The first indigenous Bangladeshi warship has been launched, paving the way for the country's navy to soon be able to deploy its own, home-grown design.
Assembled at the Khulna shipyard, it's a patrol boat equipped with a pair of 20mm guns and a pair of 37mm guns and it has a weight of 255 tonnes. 50.4 metres long, it's 7.5 metres wide, 4.1 metres high and it can carry out missions lasting up to seven days at a time.
It's also got a 20mph cruise speed and it was constructed through a development programme overseen and supported by the China Shipbuilding Industry Corporation (CSIC) - one of the two dominant Chinese ship-manufacturing organisations alongside CSSC (the China State Shipbuilding Corporation

Khulna shipyard building 5 patrol ships for BN | Priyo News

Khulna Shipyard (KSY) is building five patrol ships at a cost of Tk 2.80 billion and the works will be completed by December-2013. It is expected that Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina will formally inaugurate the construction work on March 5, official sources said.

Deputy General Manager of KSY, Commander Anisur Rahman Molla, said that this is for the first time that five modern patrol ships are being built at Khulna Shipyard.

The primary construction work of the construction ships started in June-2010. The machinery and equipment have been imported from United Kingdom.

He said the length and with of the ships will be of 50 meters by 7 meters and the optimum speed of the ships will be 20/25 miles per hour. If this type of ship is imported a single one would cost about Tk. 2 billion. Bangladesh Navy will use these ships. Two kinds of guns will be set up in the ships to conduct operational activities. He also said that Prime Minister Shaikh Hasina will formally inaugurate the construction work of the ships on March 5 at 12 noon.

Located on the bank of the River Rupsa, the shipyard was established in 1957 and after the independence, it was handed over to the state-run Bangladesh Steel and Engineering Corporation (BSEC) in 1972. But the shipyard started incurring losses after 1980.

Considering the economic prospect, later on, Bangladesh Navy was given the responsibility of running it on October 3, 1999. Shortly after the takeover under a bailout plan, the shipyard started making a turnaround into a profitable enterprise.

In the 13th century, Mongolia had the largest and most powerful navy in the world. Today, the Mongolian Navy has three boats, two guns, one engine, and seven sailors (only one of whom can swim).

Khövsgöl Nuur - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Höbsügül nagur), also referred to as Khövsgöl dalai (Хөвсгөл далай, Khövsgöl ocean) or Dalai Eej (Далай ээж, ocean mother) is the largest fresh water lake in Mongolia by volume, and second largest by area. Khövsgöl Nuur is nicknamed "Younger sister of the Sister Lakes (Lake Khövsgöl and Lake Baikal)".

Landlocked Navies of the World - Neatorama

In the 13th Century, the Mongolian Navy was the largest in the world. It lost that fleet during two failed invasions of Japan. Since that time, it shrank down to nothing. In the 1930s, the Mongolian Navy was reborn under the auspices of the Soviet Union. It received one boat, the Sukhbaatar, to patrol Lake Hovsgal. The Soviet-made vessel was dragged overland to that lake. The ship was named after Damdiny Sukhbaatar, the Mongolian leader who drove China out in the 1920s. It, and its successor, the Sukhbaatar II, eventually sank. But as of 2001, one vessel remains -- the tugboat Sukhbaatar III. It's manned by seven men, only one of whom knows how to swim. The ship is homeported at Khatgal, and it continues its regular patrols of Lake Hovsgal. But due to financial constraints, the Mongolian government privatized its navy in 1997. So now the Sukhbaatar III supplements its income by hauling freight across the lake.

As per them mangolia,congo and peru

Mongolia, How the heck are they planning to parcel a ship all the way to a land locked country?

Congo and peru could acquire these kind of ships from any other country near to them or built it in their own shipyards


Although Iam glad for Bangladesh but, It would be wise to keep their shipyard open for their own requirements. Myanmar is quite improving their military, China handed over two old frigates to Myanmar Navy recently.

Interesting.

Feeling sorry for a rich cultured ancient country like them.

Mongols tried to invade Japan twice but failed due to do so because the Mongols lost almost all of their troops both times because of storms. A large Navy which could not survive the wrath of Nature, Kublai Khan dreams of expanding it power had ended with it. Thus the word Kamikaze started.

Thus the word Kamikaze started.
