Ultra Fast Attack Craft

On December 27, 2007, one UFAC Series II was destroyed and another damaged during an encounter between Sri Lankan Navy and Sea Tiger patrol boats between Delft Island and Mannar.

[4] The boats of the Series I are 24 m (78 ft 9 in) long with a monohull with a vibration-free deck, powered by twin MTU main engines developing 1,630 kW (2,190 hp) each, driving Kamewa water jets.

[5] Their thrust-vectoring propulsion system allows Series III to function in shallow waters at draughts of 1.2 m (3 ft 11 in) facilitating special operations forces delivery on enemy shores and catastrophe relief missions.

[1] The two coastal surveillance vessels built for the Maldivian Coast Guard are very similar to the Series III Ultra Fast Attack Craft.

[6] Currently all Colombo-class boats have been designed to allow for the installation of Typhoon 25-30 mm stabilized cannon which can be slaved to state-of the art mast-mounted, day and night all weather long range electro-optic systems.
