The Royal Brunei Navy (RBN), natively known as Tentera Laut Diraja Brunei (TLDB) is the naval defence force of Brunei. It is a small but relatively well-equipped military force whose main responsibility is to conduct search and rescue missions, and to deter and defend the Brunei waters against attack mounted by seaborne forces.[5]
The forerunner of the RBN was established on 14 June 1965, the second unit created after the formation of the
History
Early years
The fourth anniversary parade was celebrated on 31 May 1965, and the unit was thereafter dubbed the
As the organisation expanded with the aid of stable economic growth, the Boat Section was renamed the Boat Company in 1966.
The Boat Company was reorganised as the First Flotilla, RBMR, or natively known as Angkatan Laut Pertama, Askar Melayu Diraja Brunei (ALP AMDB). During that time, the estimated strength of the First Flotilla was forty-two personnel, including an officer, while assets consisted of one fast patrol craft, three river patrol boats, two hovercraft vessels, FABs, a few
The British Army's tri-service regulations, which addressed offenses in the air force, navy, and army as well, served as the model for the new disciplinary regulations. The flagship KDB Pahlawan, which was acquired by the RBMR Sea Wing in 1976, was instrumental in enabling the British-officered Brunei flotilla to become the most formidable indigenous naval group in the northwest Bruneian waterways. Equipped with

Before being taken out of service in 1980, the Bendahara-class parol boats saw service for more than fourteen years.[14] The RBMR was renamed as the Royal Brunei Armed Forces (RBAF), or Angkatan Bersenjata Diraja Brunei, on 1 January 1984, as part of an attempt to reform the armed forces following independence. Since 1984, the flotilla also maintained its routine maritime training exercises with the Royal Malaysian Navy, the Republic of Singapore Navy, and the Royal Thai Navy.[15] As Brunei's military forces grew, the First Flotilla was renamed again on 1 October 1991, becoming the Royal Brunei Navy (RBN). The RBAF was reorganised in 1991 as a result of Bruneian government's emphasis on the exclusive economic zone (EEZ), which is recognized by the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea governing maritime regulations and is enforced by numerous nations due to the growing significance of the maritime boundary issue.[7]
The Royal Brunei Navy aimed to undergo a large-scale modernisation, with the upgrading of the

Roles
The roles of the RBN are:
- Deterrence against attack mounted by sea-borne forces;
- Protection of national offshore resources;
- Maintaining Sea Lines of Communication(SLOC);
- Surveillance of the 200 Exclusive Economic Zone(EEZ);
- Maritime search and rescue operations;
- Support of units of the Royal Brunei Armed Forces operational activities;
- Provide support for other security agencies and ministries as ordered by Ministry of Defence of Brunei.
Organisation
The RBN is divided into four main components as follows:[33]
- Fleet
- Administration
- Training
- Logistics
Headquarters
The administration of First Sea Battalion moved to a new base at Jalan Tanjong Pelumpong Muara in 1974. This base is now known as the Muara Naval Base. The Muara Naval Base serves as the headquarters of the RBN. It was expanded in 1997 to include facilities to support three offshore support vessels.[34] Muara Naval Base is frequently visited by foreign warships, most notable are the frequent visits by British Royal Navy ships. Persekutuan Pengakap Negara Brunei Darussalam visits the naval base sometimes too.
