sections of the base. According to top CID sources.
The launching ceremony of the Advanced Offshore Patrol Vessel, built
by Goa Shipyards Ltd for the Sri Lanka Navy, came about on a grand
scale at Goa Shipyard in India recently. Secretary to the Ministry
of Defence, Eng. Karunasena Hettiarachchi and Mrs. Wasantha
Gunawardena along with Commander of the Navy.
