Since its humble beginnings, the RSN has strived to become “the best
little Navy in the world.” Its two-fold mission is to protect Singapore’s
territorial waters and to keep access to our vital Sea Lines of
Communications (SLOCs) open. To do this, the RSN is organised into
four Commands:
• The Fleet, which is made up of two Flotillas and a submarine
squadron.
1st Flotilla has three squadrons operating six Missile Corvettes, six
Missile Gunboats, and six anti-submarine capable Patrol Craft. Their
sophisticated weapon-mix includes the Harpoon missile, the Barak
missile, the Mistral surface-to-air missile and the Whitehead torpedo.
These ships are augmented by Fokker 50 maritime surveillance
aircraft, and air-to-surface firepower from the RSAF’s A4-SUs. These
capabilities enable the 1st Flotilla to deter and counter surface,
sub-surface and air threats to vital SLOCs in the South China Sea
and the Malacca Strait. It can also provide long-range escort to
merchant vessels sailing to and from Singapore.
