The Sri Lanka Navy is the pioneer in the sphere of Arrow-class patrol boats and Wave Rider Craft where the concept which was developed through SLN’s Assymetric Naval Warfare experience. Moreover the foreign navies and the sister services avidly seek the assistance of the Sri Lanka Navy in asymmetric warfare exercises/ training due to her world-wide fame achieved through the victories in sea battles through these Arrow-class patrol boats and Wave Riders. As a result, today the Navy is privileged to deal in this USD 4.2 million contract with the Nigerian Navy.

Thanks Roshan.
(Yes, we have to put to good use of this vast 30 years war experience.
I am sure, this would be the first step.
Opening up a college solely for defence studies where preference will be given to locals but at least 40% is reserved for foreign nationals is a workable arrangement).
