Bahrain’s patrol warship RBNS Al Zubara has set sail from the British port of Falmouth for the kingdom.

Her Majesty’s ship Tamar accompanied it to the borders of British territorial waters at the end of a farewell ceremony.

Al Zubara is one of the modern and developed patrol vessels of the OPV type manufactured by the prestigious BAE Systems company. It can conduct remote coastal patrols thanks to its ability to stay for long times and in various weather conditions at sea.

The warship is sailing with experienced Bahraini crew members.

The vessel possesses capabilities that use modern technology in the management, operation and control of its system, including navigation and communication system, the engine and generator operating and control system, the fire control system, damage control and a combat system.

The design and engineering of the vessel provide it with strength and durability to operate in the worst weather conditions and during long journeys as it is supported by a helipad capable of receiving helicopters of various weights.

Bahrain received RBNS Al Zubara from the BAE Systems at a handover ceremony in August at the HMNB Portsmouth Naval Base attended by the kingdom’s Ambassador Shaikh Fawaz bin Mohammed Al Khalifa and the Military Attaché in London Brigadier General Ahmed Mohammed Al Ruwaie.

The Royal Bahrain Naval Force has become one of the main pillars of the nation’s strength, due to the progress, development and integration of all its units and systems.
