The ship is being constructed in Bangladesh. Its the first time such an advanced ship of this class is being built in Bangladesh. Fully indigenous design and manufacturing.

Bangladesh Navy seeks new patrol craft, anti-aircraft missiles for corvettes

Bangladesh’s Defence Ministry is seeking responses to a tender for five patrol craft for the country’s navy.

According to the tender, the patrol craft should have a proven design with a length of approximately 50–52 m, a beam of 7–8 m, a maximum draught of 2 m, and a displacement of between 270 and 320 tonnes. It should be steel-hulled with an aluminium superstructure.

The vessel should be powered by two diesel engines driving two shafts, and an electrical power generation equipment that would need to be of ‘western origin’. Weapons to be mounted on the craft include a Type 61 twin 37 mm gun, and two 20 mm Oerlikon cannons.

No water cannon?

Water cannons can be fitted after the fact. In addition to firefighting, they are belligerence control equipment for rogue foreign fishermen typically and the need has not arisen yet. AK-47 rounds (or 25 mm rounds) are effective enough for now.

AFAIK - these aren't meant for firefighting roles, tugboats are.

Most large seagoing tugs made in Bangladesh do have water cannons.

The guy was being sarcastic..... BN ships seems to be under armed in every case and the troll was just playing on that issue I think.

Navy assets I suppose should not be equipped with water cannons....probably not even coast guards ... it's a joke "weapon" and I do not think he meant water cannons for fire fighting scenarios
