Sri Lanka Navy is one of the best Naval wings in the world

The world is ready to share the experience of the Sri Lanka Navy`s capability of defeating terrorism. The Sri Lanka Navy is considered one of the most powerful Naval troops in the world to have defeated and disabled the LTTE sea wing.

Speaking at the ceremony in tribute of the gallant Naval personnel at the Navy Dockyard in Trincomalee, yesterday (Aug 28), chief guest Defence Secretary Mr. Gotabaya Rajapaksa said the Naval troops were dedicated to protect the nation and had made an immense contribution in defeating terrorism.

`I praise their efforts and dedication in protecting the territorial integrity, sovereignty and unity of the motherland,` he added.

He observed that the Naval troops were the main obstacle to the LTTE cadres in bringing arms and weapons via sea.

`The Navy destroyed eight of the LTTE floating stores (vessels) in the local and international seas. This prevented the LTTE from bringing in arms and face severe shortage of arms and weapon during the last battle against the Security Forces,` he added.

Secretary Defence said the Naval troops maintained logistic needs and lifelines to the North. When the Sea Tigers attempted to attack the Jet Liner ship carrying unarmed troops, it was foiled by the sailors in action.

The LTTE`s strategic move to take over the Trincomalee harbour and attack the Security Forces installations was thwarted by the Naval troops.

Her further asserted that the Sri Lanka Navy is one of the best Naval wings in the world which destroyed the terrorist movement in the sea with its limited resources and technology.

`The Navy using its Special Boat Squadron (SBS) destroyed many of the LTTE suicide boats and movements in the sea. There are countries which possessed high sophisticated sea power but were unable to prevent terror movements.

Many countries had requested the Defence Ministry to let them share the experience of the Sri Lanka Navy. Foreign defence delegations wanted to come to Sri Lanka and acquire techniques of the Sri Lanka Navy,` he said.

Sri Lanka Navy members will be sent abroad to enlarge their experience and acquire more knowledge in Maritime work, he said.

Mr. Rajapaksa emphasized that the Sri Lanka Navy will have greater responsibility in the future to protect our territorial waters and prevent illegal activities.

He also thanked the Indian Government for facilitating the acquisition of this vessel for the Sri Lankan Government. `The gesture of goodwill by the Indian Government will strengthen the bilateral relations and build better cooperation between the two neighbouring countries,` he added.

not to mention the waves of suicide boat attacks by the LTTE and the navys ability to counter them successfully is another important factor... specially when the navy is on a mission guarding the troops carrying ships...hats off to the SL navy for giving hell to the LTTEs naval wing...

Wow the Singala are really full of themselves eh? The envy of the world really. I bet Pakistan, India or China could take on the SL navy in one day if it ever came to it. The stupid Singala will believe anything that the government shoves down their throats.

Stupid Singhala had at least got rid of the Donkey Tamils. It is the Donkey Tamils who lost their so called Tamil Home land believing the Peelam myth that LTTE exaggerated for 30 years.

Morons , stay in Europe and clean toilets, that is where your Peelam is.

YEAH!! The stupid Koti supporting demalas were believing that Velupunda was going to deliver eelam to them!! You faggots were swallowing what ever the LTTE shoved down your throats!!

Remember YOU motta madayan vishara, 'stupid Singala' forces were able to neutralise the world's most ruthless terrorist organisation head to toe, and also try to take it into you stupid mindset that none of the armies in Pakistan, India or China have been able to eliminate a terrorist organistion head to toe!

JulySmith,

Are you an American? How's the war against Osama going? You've totally been kicking his butt for the last 8 years, haven't you?



Lttesympath,

The stupid Singala will believe anything that the government shoves down their throats.


Yes, we even believed that the LTTE is finished and Prabha the Sun Goat is dead! How gullible we are!



Kiora,

Seems that Sinhalese are best at every thing they will be the best at toilet cleaning the toilet cleaning champions of the world congrats.


Sorry my dear, but if we were the best at that, we'd have a separate caste for it already. Perhaps you should do more research on us. I'm still waiting for you to tell me who this God we Sinhala Buddhists fear is.

Man it's so nice to read all these lovely comments from peelamists after getting their leaders head blown into pieces, their terror gang neutralized and their fake peelam taken away from them :)

If not for peelamists comments here, LNP will be a very dull place :)

and yeah for the record, LPTE was defeated, velupuunde is dead with his entire family, no more sea pigers-air pigers - black pigers, pink pigers, titty bombers, loongie bombers, child soldiers :)
nobody remembers the loosers...
Sri Lanka won... But keep the jokes coming :) we're loving it :)

This sounds like a village mother tells every one when her sone passed O/L, 'my son is the top educated in the world'.
LTTE was defeated with the help of many nations. India did a lot in defeat sea tigers.
Now Gota exaggerate things!!
He knows that India is not going to cliam victory over LTTE!!
