    The newly built air-conditioned accommodation type Wave Rider IPCs (P 265 and P 266) were officially launched into service recently  at the SLNS Vijaya base pier in Kalpitiya.

    The ceremony was held under the patronage of Commander Northwestern Naval Area, Rear Admiral Dhammika Wijewardana.

    P 265 and P 266, built at the Naval Boat Building Yard within the Welisara Naval Complex, are designed for enhanced efficiency, speed, and extended sea operations. These craft aim to strengthen efforts against a wide range of smuggling activities and illegal fishing along Sri Lanka's Northwestern coast.

    A group of officers and sailors from the Northwestern Naval Area were also present on the occasion.
