Bagerhat, Mar 5 (bdnews24.com) — Bangladesh Navy will be made three dimensional (3D) in line with the government's plan to bring dynamism into the naval force, the prime minister has said.

Commissioning two naval warships at Mongla Naval Base on Saturday morning, Sheikh Hasina said the government was working to make the Bangladesh Navy more dynamic and modern.

The commissioned warships are 'BNS Dhaleshwari' and 'BNS Bijoy'.

Speaking on the occasion, the prime minister urged the Navy to remain vigilant in ensuring security and protecting the marine boundary of the country.

Elaborating the modernisation plan of the Navy, the prime minister said initiative was underway to procure two warships from China with helicopter landing and take-off facilities.

State minister for labour and employment Begum Monnujan Sufian, chiefs of the three services and Navy Khulna region commanding officer Commodore K T Zaman earlier received Hasina on her arrival at the naval base by a helicopter around 10am.

After the commissioning of the two warships, the prime minister started for Khulna Shipyard around 11:30am to inaugurate the construction of five patrol crafts of the Bangladesh Navy.

Shipping minister Shahjahan Khan, prime minister's security advisor Maj Gen (retd) Tarique Ahmed Siddik, four MPs of Bagerhat and NSI chief Maj Gen Manjur Ahmed were, among others, present at the Mongla programme.

Navy officials said BNS Dhaleshwari and BNS Bijoy would function as 'offshore patrol vessels' to protect the maritime border.

Each of the warships will be operated by seven officers and 43 sailors (naval), they added.



Bangladesh bought the warships for its Navy in 2010.

Ah! Good for BD. I always wondered why BD navy floated 2D cardboard pics of their naval ships. Now that the navy goes 3D, we will have an actual ship in the water :)
 
@ I remember once General Aurora remarked about Sk Mujib that he was a Political "agitator", so Sk Hasina is also the daughter of Sk Mujib. She had made the Bangladesh Navy 3 Dimensional by adding two small naval ships. She always says something abnormal which is her cherishma !!!!!!!

I read these two ships are donated by UK. :angry: Few days back read 16 boats donated by US. :argh:

Are they going to make 3D navy by donations?
