BNS Gomati is an Шаблон:Sclass2 offshore patrol vessel of the Bangladesh Navy. She was originally built as a Fishery Protection Vessel for the British Royal Navy, entering service as HMS Anglesey in 1979. She was sold to Bangladesh in 2002, entering service in 2003.

Design and description

The Island-class was the result in the increase in the United Kingdom's Exclusive economic zone to Шаблон:Convert, with a resulting increase in the requirements to patrol fishing grounds and oil fields. After evaluation of the Scottish Fisheries Protection Agency's fishery protection vessel Jura, built by the shipbuilders Hall, Russell & Company to a trawler-like design, the Royal Navy ordered five ships of the Island-class, based on JuraШаблон:'s design in February 1975, with a further two ships, Anglesey and Шаблон:HMS on 21 October 1977.[1][2]

Anglesey was Шаблон:Convert long overall and Шаблон:Convert at the waterline, with a beam of Шаблон:Convert and a draught of Шаблон:Convert. Displacement was Шаблон:Convert normal and Шаблон:Convert deep load.[3] Two Ruston 12 RK 3 CM diesel engines rated at a total of Шаблон:Convert drove a single propeller shaft, giving a speed of Шаблон:Convert,[2] adequate to deal with the majority of trawlers in service in European waters.[4] Range was Шаблон:Convert at Шаблон:Convert.[2] The earlier ships of the class had suffered from excessive motions in high seas,[4] and so Anglesey was fitted with fin stabiliser during build.[3][2] Armament consisted of a single Bofors 40 mm gun backed up by two machine guns.[3] The ship had a crew of 5 officers and 29 other ranks, plus a detachment of Royal Marines if necessary.[2]

History

HMS Anglesey was laid down at Hall Russell's Aberdeen shipyard on 6 February 1978[5]Шаблон:Vs and launched on 18 October 1978.[3] She was commissioned into the Royal Navy on 1 June 1979.[2] On commissioning she joined the Offshore Division of the Fishery Protection Squadron. On 13–14 August 1979, the Fastnet yacht race was hit by a severe storm, with Anglesey taking part in the resulting rescue operations, saving seven sailors from the yacht Bonaventure II.[6]

In 2002 she was sold to the Bangladesh Navy.

Career

Gomati transferred on 12 September 2003. On 3 October 2004, she was commissioned into the Bangladesh Navy.[7] She is currently serving under the command of the Commodore Commanding BN Khulna (COMKHUL).

Gomati took part in Exercise Aman in 2013, a multinational exercise held at Karachi port of Pakistan.[8] She visited the port of Colombo, Sri Lanka from 23 to 26 February[9] and Visakhapatnam Port in India from 17 to 20 March 2013[10] on goodwill missions.
