Singapore Technologies Marine (ST Marine) has launched the Republic of Singapore Navy’s seventh Littoral Mission Vessel (LMV), Dauntless, the company announced on 18 August.

ST Marine is building eight LMVs to replace the navy’s current fleet of Fearless-class patrol vessels.

The LMVs are 2.5 times larger than the vessels they will replace, with better seakeeping capabilities. The LMVs have lethal and non-lethal options to deliver calibrated responses to deter and defend against various threats. The vessel’s mission modularity enables the ships to be configured for a wide spectrum of operations.

Ng Sing Chan, president for ST Marine, said: ‘We are excited to launch the seventh of eight LMVs that we are designing and building for the Republic of Singapore Navy. We are committed to continue the good progress we have made thus far, and look forward to completing the programme with the last and final LMV.’
