It is sad no mention is made of the largest ship in the Sri lanka Navy which was a gift from USA. It was one of their Coast Guard cutters that was given to the S/L Navy during the war with the tigers.

Yes Genius , don't believe in foreign aids weather it is given to build a port or fight a war . We were amply supplied with arms by China . Meanwhile, it is not a secret now , LTTE also had bought arms from them , but,true, indirectly. Never think China is too innocent to not known it.
