Background
A total of four Ijtihad-class fast patrol boats have been commissioned into service with the Royal Brunei Navy[1][3] (RBN; Malay: Tentera Laut Diraja Brunei, TLDB), where two of the ships began operating since March 2010, followed by another two on 28 August 2010.[2][4]
Two Ijtihad-class fast patrol boats arrived in Brunei Darussalam on 27 August 2010. The boats, named Kapal Diraja Brunei (KDB) Syafaat and KDB Afiat were commissioned at the Muara Naval Base. They are part of the project between the government of His Majesty The Sultan and Yang Di-Pertuan of Negara Brunei Darussalam and Lürssen Werft.
