The Myanmar Navy (Burmese: တပ္မေတာ္(ေရ); Burmese

pronunciation: [taʔmədɔ̀ jè]) is the naval branch of the armed forcesof Myanmar with 19,000 men and women. The Myanmar Navycurrently operates more than 122 vessels. Before 1988, theMyanmar Navy was small and its role in the manycounterinsurgency operations was much less conspicuous thanthose of the army and air force. Yet the navy has always been, andremains, an important factor in Myanmar's security and it wasdramatically expanded in recent years to a provide blue watercapability and external threat defence role in Myanmar's territorial waters.

History

Naval Ensign (1948-1974)

Pre-independence

A Burmese war boat, in 1795

The naval arm of the Royal Armed Forces consisted mainly ofriver-faring war boats. Its primary missions were to control theIrrawaddy, and to protect the ships carrying the army to the front. Themajor war boats carried up to 30 musketeers and were armed with 6- or12-pounder cannon.[1] By the mid-18th century, the navy had acquireda few seafaring ships, manned by European and foreign sailors, thatwere used to transport the troops in Siamese and Arakanese campaigns.

Note that the Arakanese and the Mon, from the maritime regions,maintained more seaworthy flotillas than inland riverborne "navy" ofthe Royal Burmese Army. The Arakanese in particular fielded aformidable seagoing navy that terrorized the coasts of Bay of Bengal during the 15th and 17th centuries.

Founding and WWIIThe Myanmar Navy was formed as the Navy of Burma in 1940 and, although very small, played an active part inAllied operations against the Japanese during the Second World War.

Burma IndependenceIn December 1947, the Union of Burma Navy was formed with 700 men. The fleet initially consisted of a small butdiverse collection of ships transferred from the Royal Navy under the arrangements made for Burma's independencein January 1948. It included UBS Mayu, ex-Royal Navy River class frigate and four Landing Craft Gun (Medium).Armed with two 25-pounder (88 mm) guns and two 2-pounder (44 mm) guns, these landing craft were used assupport gunboats.[2]

1950sIn 1950 and 1951, the United States provided 10 coast guard cutters (CGC) under the Mutual Defense AssistanceProgram (MDAP). The Myanmar Navy played an important part in the government's fight against the ethnic andideological insurgent groups which threatened the Union Government in its early days. The Myanmar Navyperformed both defensive and offensive roles, protecting convoys, carrying supplies, ferrying troops and givingmuch-needed fire support. It was instrumental in relieving the port city of Moulmein, which was captured by Kareninsurgents in 1948, and the Irrawaddy Delta town of Bassein. Although one armed patrol boat defected to the Kareninsurgents, throughout the turbulent years of post independence in Myanmar, the navy was largely unopposed andmanaged to maintain control over Myanmar's crucial inland waterways.[3]

In 1956 and 1957, Myanmar government acquired five 50-long-ton (51 t) Saunders-Roe Dark class convertible motor torpedo/motor gunboats,[4] followed by an 1,040-long-ton (1,060 t) Algerine class minesweeper in 1958 from

the United Kingdom.[5] In the late 1950s and early 1960s, United States sold Myanmar Navy six PGM type coastalpatrol crafts and seven CGC type patrol boats.[6] In the mid 1960s, Myanmar Navy took delivery of ex-US Navy640-long-ton (650 t) PCE-827 class[7] corvette and a 650-long-ton (660 t) Admirable class minesweeper, both ofwhich were commissioned in the mid 1940s. In 1978, United States provided Myanmar Navy with six small riverpatrol crafts.[8] In 1958, Myanmar Navy took delivery of 10 Y-301 class river gunboats from Yugoslavia, followedby 25 smaller Michao class patrol crafts.

1960sEfforts were made to produce locally made Naval vessels with assistance from Yugoslavia. In 1960, Myanmar Navycommissioned two 400-long-ton (410 t) Nawarat Class corvettes. Their armaments include 25-pounder field gun and40 mm Bofors Anti-Aircraft gun.[9] Myanmar shipyards also built the navy a number of smaller patrol crafts and anumber of landing crafts. Landing crafts and auxiliary ships are usually armed with Oerlikon 20 mm cannons, 40mmBofors Anti-Aircraft guns and Heavy machine guns.[10]

1970sAlthough the Myanmar Navy expanded rapidly during 1950s and 1960s, however, the navy was unable to keep pacewith loss or deterioration of older vassels in 1970s until naval replacement program was initiated by BSPPGovernment in 1979. In 1980, the Myanmar Navy acquired six Carpentaria class inshore patrol boats from Australiafollowed by three 128-ton Swift type coastal patrol boats from Singapore and three 385-ton Ospery class offshorepatrol vessels built in Denmark. The Ospery and Swift class boats have a range of 4500 and 1800 miles (7,200 and2,900 km) respectively and were armed with Oerlikon 20 mm cannons and 40mm Bofors Anti-Aircraft guns. In theearly years of 1980s, Myanmar shipyards built three 128-ton PGM type patrol boats based upon US PGM Classpatrol boats. Each boat was armed with two 40mm Bofors Anti-Aircraft guns and two 12.7 mm Heavy machineguns.

1990sThe Myanmar Navy bought 6 Missile Escort Boats & 10 Submarine Chaser from China. Since 1998, the navy hasbuilt two77m Corvettes (771 and 772) and four FACs (551-564).

May 2008 Cyclone NargisAs many as 25 Burmese naval ships may have been sunk in the storm caused by Cyclone Nargis in May 2008, whilean unknown number of naval personnel and their family members were killed or are listed as missing.[11] TheNetwork for Democracy and Development [12] [13], in Thailand, reported that 30 officers and 250 Burmese navalpersonnel have been declared missing, while 25 vessels were destroyed by the cyclone in three naval regionalcommand centers: Panmawaddy Regional Command on Hainggyi Island; Irrawaddy Regional Command; andDanyawaddy Regional Command in Sittwe in Arakan State.

Attacks on civilians

Attacks on Bangladeshi FishermenOn October 7, 1998 between three and five Bangladeshi fishermen were killed by Burmese Navy forces just off thecoast of St. Martin's Island.[14]

Attacks on Thai Fishermen and civiliansIn May 1998, Colonel Zaw Min, who is now Minister for Electric Power and general secretary of the UnionSolidarity and Development Association, the junta's grassroots organisation landed on Christie Island and found 59people living there to gather wood and bamboo, in violation of Burmese law. The order came down from GeneralThan Shwe that they were to be "eliminated" and they were all subsequently murdered.[15]

A few days later, members of the Burmese Navy captured a Thai fishing boat that had strayed close to ChristieIsland. The 22 fishermen on board were shot and buried on the island.[15]
