Chief Adviser (CA) Fakhruddin Ahmed has urged the members of naval force to always remain alert to uphold the sovereignty of maritime territory, curb smuggling and piracy, and ensure security of sea route.

He made the call while inaugurating the formal commissioning of frigate BNS Khalid bin Walid at the jetty of Isa Khan Naval Base here yesterday.

The CA formally handed over commissioning “forman” of the frigate to its commanding officer Captain Aminur Rahman.

BNS Khalid bin Walid is a modern warship of Bangladesh Navy capable of fighting in all dimensions in the present and in the foreseeable future.

In addition to its combat roles, the frigate is capable of performing all peacetime policing duties within the country’s maritime zones.

Construction work of the frigate, with state-of-the-art technology, began on March 11, 1998 by Daewoo Shipyard of Republic of Korea.

The frigate was first commissioned on June 20 in 2001 as BNS Bangabandhu in Bangladesh Navy.

Later, the ship was decommissioned for various warranty repair works and placed in reserved class-III as DW 2000-H frigate on February 13, 2002.

The primary role of this ship will be surveillance of the country’s exclusive economic zone.

It will also carry out various constabulary tasks in Bangladesh’s sea area against maritime terrorism, environmental pollution and smuggling, and can also be deployed for search and rescue operation.

Addressing the inaugural ceremony, the chief adviser urged the rank and file of Bangladesh Navy to keep up their efforts to further brighten the country’s image in the world forum through maintaining honesty, sincerity, discipline, efficiency and high standard of professionalism.

He said the navy is playing an important role in tackling natural calamity, curbing smuggling on sea route, and in exploring and preserving sea resources.

The CA said the members of naval force also earned reputation and fame through goodwill visits to different friendly countries, through bilateral and multi-lateral naval exercises and by participating in UN peacekeeping missions.

He said the present caretaker government is giving special importance to increasing the capacity of the armed forces alongside socioeconomic development of the country.

The ship’s war weapons, combat management system, missile- launching system and other equipment are of world class, he said. “So, addition of this ship to our naval force is very significant in respect of technology and strategy.”

Chief of Naval Staff Vice Admiral Sarwar Jahan Nizam also spoke on the occasion.

Chief adviser’s wife Neena Ahmed, Communications Adviser Major General (retd) MA Matin, Chief of Army Staff General Moeen U Ahmed, acting Air Force chief Air Vice Marshal Enamul Bari, Defence Secretary Kamrul Hasan, diplomats, local elite, high civil and military officials, and a large number of navy personnel were present at the function.

    Qatar government called BNS Khalid Bin Walid to join some activities. Thats why the ship came in Qatar. Here the sailors were near about 10 days. In Qatar there is one Bangladesh School from where we were taken to visit the ship at Doha Sea-port. Everyone was surprised to visit the ship because it is the most modern ship. We all students were very happy to visit the ship because it is not only the modern ship it is also an war ship. Everyone was glad when thy saw the behaviour of them. On 18th oct everyone was given chance to pay visit to the ship. Many Bangladeshis went to visit it. All of them were proud to have such kind of frigate in Bangladesh. We all liked the ship and felt proud to have such a ship for our country.
