The Sri Lanka Navy (SLN) formally took delivery of the former United States Coast Guard Cutter, USCGC DECISIVE, provided by the United States to SLN, in a ceremony held at the United States Coast Guard Yard in Baltimore on 02 Dec 25.
The former USCGC Decisive is now 57 years old. This is the fourth former US Coast Guard cutter to join the Sri Lankan Navy. Decisive’s sister ship, USCGC Courageous (SLNS Samudura) was transferred in 2004.
SLNS-Samudura. You can see that Sri Lanka upgraded the armament.
Sri Lanka also has two much larger 378 foot long Hamilton Class cutters, the former USCGC Sherman transferred in 2018, and the former USCGC Munro, transferred in 2021.
