KSY launched the fifth vessel in June. It was named BNS Bishkhali with new pennant number P-415. Strange part is BNS Bishkhali already had a pennant number P-311 when BN repaired and commissioned Ex-PNS Jessore. Wonder why they gave it a new pennant number.

Commissioning of Patrol Craft is in line with Forces Goal 2030....The document of Forces Goal 2030 still nowhere to be found

Don't worry about it.
It is there, somewhere.

According to report published in 2009 navy had plans (Part of FG-2020) to get 12 patrol craft so judging by the pattern maybe we will get 5 more vessels in next 10 years or in 2033.
