Building
its own ships which meet the standard of boats sailing in the open seas is an
honour for the Tatmadaw (Navy). Also the Tatmadaw in indeed is honourable as it
is the only armed forces in Southeast Asia that can build frigates at its own
dockyard.
This ability must be maintained while building more powerful naval
boats, said Commander-in-Chief of Defence Services Senior General Min Aung Hlaing
at the commissioning of the naval vessels in commemoration of the 70th
anniversary of the Tatmadaw (Navy) held in Yangon yesterday.
