Patuakhali to get biggest naval base with aviation facilities
PM to commission 2 subs on March 12
DEEPAK ACHARJEE

After becoming a three-dimensional force, the Bangladesh Navy will set up a new, full-fledged naval base at Rabnabad in Patuakhali, the biggest of its kind in the country.

Not only will the new naval base have facilities for submarine berthing and aviation, it will bolster the fighting fleet. The Navy’s own air base, too, will be constructed there.
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has already given her consent to set up the proposed full-fledged naval base, named ‘BNS Sher-E-Bangla’, near the Payra Seaport at Rabnabad area of Patuakhali, disclosed sources in the government.
The government is going to set up the proposed naval base at a time when a new cantonment is going to be set up for the Bangladesh Army at Lebukhali area in Patuakhali.
The proposed naval base at the area will help ensure the security of the country’s maritime areas, especially in the Bay of Bengal, for extracting sea resources and securing trade.
The proposed naval base is being set up by the Navy as part of its implementation of its ‘Force Goal 2030’.
A high-ranking official of the defence ministry told The Independent that they have prepared a proposal in this respect, which will be placed at the next meeting of the secretaries’ committee on administrative improvement affairs, scheduled to be held soon.
In the proposal, the acting secretary of the defence ministry, Akhter Hossain Bhuiyan, disclosed that a total of 1,129 posts in different categories—including one post of Commodore, four posts of Captain, 20 posts of Commander, 33 posts of Lieutenant Commander and six posts of Lieutenant—would be created to set up the proposed naval base.
“It would be possible to ensure security for the Payra Seaport and the coastal areas of the country’s southern areas after the modern naval base is set up,” the proposal noted.
According to the proposal, it would provide “air support” at the seaport and its adjacent areas, and also help create barriers to any enemy entering the country’s territory during wartime.
“It will also help build the naval force’s skilled manpower, provide assistance to the civil administration while conducting anti-smuggling operations, stop sea pollution and conduct rescue operations during natural calamities,” the proposal added.
At present there are only three naval bases in the country.
As part of its moves to strengthen the naval force, the government has purchased two submarines from China. On November 15 last year, the Bangladesh Navy entered the submarine era by receiving two Ming-class submarines from China. The two submarines—named ‘Joijatra’ and ‘Navojatra’—reached Chittagong port from China on December 23 last year.
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, also defence minister, will commission the submarines on March 12.
The Navy has already prepared a master-plan to strengthen the force further with a view to ensuring the security of 1,18,813 sq. km of sea territory. Of the 1,18,813 sq. km of its sea territory, Bangladesh has got 70,000 sq. km from Myanmar and 19,000 sq. km from India, which comprise the territorial sea and an exclusive economic zone extending out to 200 nautical miles.
Under the master-plan, the Navy will purchase more warships and helicopters and set up more naval bases. In 2013, the Navy purchased two Dornier 228NG (new generation) patrol aircraft for surveillance at sea. It has carried out search operations in the deep sea using the aircraft.

In Patuakhali we are getting-
1.Deep sea port
2.Naval Base
3.Air Base
4.New Infantry Division of Army.
So it seems like a full package.

Absolutely disagree with the location of the Navel Surface/Air bases in Rabnabad Island, This island and its surrounding area specially Kalapara is absolutely smack dab in the middle of Cyclone hit zone each year, once or multiple times each year this area is hit with 40 feet high tidal wave and 200+ km speed windstorm. so the safety and security of the base will be compromised each year multiple times

Unless we're putting up a 60' seawall surrounding the whole twin bases area, BN will spend considerable amount of time and money fighting just the natural elements and some ships will have to be sent each year to KSY for repair...anybody here remember how devastating the freak 1991 cyclone was to BN and it was hit way inland in CG port, it's horrifying to imagine a direct hit in Rabnabad will look like

Kutubdia should have been the logical choice to put the bases in, and as history have shown us BD govt Military advisers divorced logic a long time ago

Naval variant of Sukhois anyone?

Preventive measures during natural storms are quiet a norm in almost every naval installation world wide. There will be natural calamities in all the ages. Doesn't mean people will stop establishing naval bases for that. It only means they will have to build infrastructure that can stay upright even during a category 5 cyclone.

The 8 MRCA we're getting is required to have full navel strike capability as per tender...Navel Sukhois are diff breed of Aircraft altogether with folded wings/tail arrester hooks and other many distinguishing variations from regular version...which we have absolutely 0 use of

Fair enuff, I guess we'll have to wait till 2020 to judge just how well prepared base we eventually built
