Among 53 patrol vessels of Indian navy only 10 are larger than Durjoy class. They are 4 Saryu class and 6 Suknya class. And remaining 43 are smaller than Durjoy class. So I think, by Indian standard Durjoy class is fairly large enough.

Some people were considering it to be a corvette - thats why I said 'little '

They are said to have semi stealth features. They have some modification in their design than older generation ships. Its more close to Type 056 corvette
are newly joined BNS Durjoy and BNS Nirmul stealty as Type056 Corvette ?

Ideal stealth ship in today's standard would look like this

Those people's saying are not entirely untrue. Durjoy class is a scaled down version of Type 056 stealth corvette.

I don't think you can call a ship that has four AShM's (C704) as equipment - a 'patrol vessel'.

A patrol vessel generally doesn't have AShM's or their firing and tracking control equipment.

These days (and especially in the case of Bangladesh where the Bay of Bengal defense area is rather small) you don't need humongous long endurance ships for defending coastlines. Bangladesh Navy is largely a brown water navy with some serious littoral capability now (whether Anti-Ship, Anti-Air) and Littoral Combat is essentially 80% of the Navy's mission.

Since most of our coastline extending to 20 miles has on average less than 20m of depth, a rival Navy can't use Submarines to conduct surveillance in these waters. So Anti-sub capability in littoral Bangladesh waters is redundant and not needed as well.

We are far ahead of Indian shipbuilding. Size-wise, no. So far we are not building anything beyond the bulkers. But soon will. Our products are better, dealings are good/professional and deliveries timely. All areas Indian shipbuilding industry performs poor.

"We are far ahead.....just dont compare size and range of product....just take our word for it"

Let us look at a video with some internal footage of Indian Shipbuilders:

Bangladesh:

So both countries have much potential and scope in shipbuilding. Why are you needlessly saying Indian shipbuilding is poor and Bangladesh is "far ahead"....and in same breath say "don't compare the size of ships or diversity of ships"....that Bangladesh will only match them "soon"....as though Pipavav and others are going to just sit and wait for you to catch up.

Foolish person.

Our team is probably on a marketing/sales trip for potential sales to India - whose quality of shipbuilding is poor.

Bangladesh has sold some small craft to Europe. Are you saying European shipbuilding quality is poor?

Keep making your retarded claims and being a laughing joke for us.

After being ordered on 30 October 1812, Trincomalee was built in Bombay, India by the Wadia family of shipwrights in teak, due to oak shortages in Britain as a result of shipbuilding drives for the Napoleonic Wars

Baron Robert von Heine-Geldern (1885 - 1968) and Gordon F. Ekholm (1909 - 1987) the world's leading anthropologists, have strongly supported the claim that Indian ships went all the way to Mexico and Peru centuries before Columbus.

In the "Civilizations of Ancient America" they state:

"There appears to be little doubt but that ship building and navigation were sufficiently advanced in southern and eastern Asia at the period in question to have made trans-Pacific voyages possible. In the third century, horses were exported from India to the Malay Peninsula and Indo-China, an indication that there must have been ships of considerable size."
