In its 46 years, the Royal Brunei Navy now has acquired four new Ijhtihad Class Fast Patrol Boats (41 metres) and two Darussalam Class Patrol Vessels (80 metres).

The arrival of these vessels began in 2010 and was part of the modernisation process for the present assets.

The Royal Brunei Navy plays a vital role in maintaining peace and prosperity of our nation's territorial waters and also acts as one of the most important government law enforcement agency at sea.

     
One of the main guest at this International fleet review at Bridex 2011 was the Chinese Type 052B destroyer Wuhan from the PLA (People's Liberation Army) Navy.
