Two more Triona class OPVs have successfully completed their trials and have been accepted into service by the HCS Navy. P09 Temple North will be deployed to Cloneland and AP10 Senrilla will be transferred to Aquaworld early next year. The two boats are to a updated specification with SA-N-6A self-defence SAMs and some modifications to the hull to improve sea keeping.
Meanwhile the new destroyer lead ship CNS Olana has begun sea trials following it's launch a few months ago. The ship still requires armament and some support equipment being fitted which will take place next year following these proving trials. The HCSN are still keeping to a "Summer 08" entry in service though this may be ambitious.
The sole frigate CNS Ailier has returned to base following the recent operation against pirates and will receive a refit and update. It should return to service next spring with SA-N-6A and other system updates.
