BNS Tista was a Kraljevica-class patrol boat in service with the Bangladesh Navy.[1]

Career

[edit]

BNS Tista was built as PBR 505, a Type 501 Kraljevica-class patrol boat for the Yugoslav Navy in 1956.[2] The ship along with her sister ship BNS Karnafuli were acquired from Yugoslavia in 1975[1] and commissioned on 6 June 1975. The ships have undergone upgrades in 1995 to 1998. After serving the Bangladesh Navy for around 47 years, she was decommissioned from service on 9 November, 2022.[3]

Armament

[edit]

The ship was armed with two Bofors 40 mm L/70 guns and four 20 mm cannon. She also carried two 128 mm rocket launchers and two racks for Mk 6 Projectors for ASW operations. She was mainly used as an ASW ship.
