The Navy

Royal Cambodian Navy
Untill reciently Cambodia still had a couple of Russian built Turya class torpedo fast attack craft rusting away in Phnom Penh, they were last used in the 90's when the UN re-engined them and used them for river patrol duties. They have now gone to I know not where. They mainly have small patrol boats for coastal and river duties, the largest being a Russian Shershen class patrol fast attack craft.

Old and obsolete you may say, well cop this...


British Royal Navy
HMS Victory is a 104-gun first-rate ship of the line, she was launched in 1765 and is still in service being the flagship of the First Sea Lord of the Royal Navy. She has completed 241 years' of service, and at a cost of £63,176 and 3 shillings to build, she has worked out to be a real bargain.
