Two Violet 57B light patrol ships have joined the UNDF fleet, 57-216 Victoria and 57-217 Virgilia. Just three more Violets are to be built, all three are in various stages of construction and should be finished by the end of the year.
UNDF say they have now reached the sufficient numbers of ships to perform their patrol circuits across UNDF space. The three final ships will allow for operational flexibility. A follow-on Type 57C was considered at some stage but has now been shelved.
