Hey guys, just wondering if anyone out there has any pics or info on either or both KD Sri Gaya (301) and KD Sri Tiga (302).
They are nice looking boats from the only pic I have seen but I don’t know what they do. They look like Short range troop transports (ferries) but I could be wrong.

Yeah nice boats but impracticle, no speed, no armourment and no real troop movement capacity (I mean 32 troops, come on).

Thanks Dan for your diligence, I did get that page up and had my susspicions confirmed, they are troop ferries and atm there are only two of them in service. There was no info on crew, range, speed or how many troops they could carry, so Gol I would still like your contribution if it is still on offer, thanks mate.
