Three new corvettes built on the Clyde for The Royal Brunei Navy.
BAE SYSTEMS Marine is completing contractor's sea trials of NAKHODA RAGAM, the first of a new class of three 95m Offshore Patrol Vessels (OPVs) being built for the Royal Brunei Navy. She is due to sail from Scotland to the Far East by the end of the year.
The ships names are prefixed KDB (as in Kapal Diraja Brunei, which translates as Ship of the Rajah of Brunei) and BENDAHARE SAKAM, the second ship of the class, was launched in June 2001. She has completed diesel generator trials in dry dock at BAE SYSTEMS' Scotstoun yard and is under-going contractor's sea trials with delivery in June 2003.
The third and final vessel, named KDB JERAMBAK, was launched in June 2002 and is scheduled to be delivered in December 2003.
A variant of the generic F2000 series corvette design, Royal Brunei Technical Services Sdn Bhd is procuring the ships under a UK/Brunei government-to-government contract signed in January 1998. The design is a reduced version of the Lekiu Class built by the same yard for Malaysia and they have cost around US $350 million each. With a displacement of approximately 1,500 tons standard and 2,000 tons full load, the new Brunei OPVs have a maximum speed of 30 knots and a range of 5,000 nautical miles at 12 knots.
Endurance will be 14 days and they will have a crew of 62 (including eight officers) and 24 berths for Flag Staff and scientists. They are powered by four Paxman diesels turning two controlled-pitch propellers, and their hulls are fitted with fin stabilisers. One generator is able to meet normal loads.
The new ships feature a comprehensive combat system based around the hub of an Alenia Marconi Systems (AMS) NAUTlS II command and fire-control system.
AMS is also supplying AWS-9(3D) E/F-band surveillance and target indication radar and two 1802SW radar trackers.
The vessels are armed with:

Artikel-artikel ttg Brunei enggan terima OPV2 tu sudah lama. Setahu aku BAe cuber nak seret Sultan Brunei ke mahkamah tahun lepas. Sampai sekarang takde perkembangan baru.
Tentera Laut Brunei sudah mengoperasikan kapal-kapal dengan misil exocet selama ini, saya kurang setuju tentera laut Brunei tidak dapat mengoperasikan OPV2 tu. |

Brief History
On 14 June 1965, which was four years after the formation of the Royal Brunei Armed Forces, The Royal Brunei Navy was formed and it was initially known as Boat Section. Her strength was only 18 in number including one officer from the First Battalion which attended a basic military course in Malaya in 1961 until 1964. This Boat Section was equipped with a number of aluminium boats, known as Temuai and Fast Assault Boats (FABs)
Hence, her role was solely transportation of infantry elements to interior of Brunei. As the organization expanded with the aid of stable economic growth throughout the past years, in 1966 Boat Section was known as Boat Company.
