Earlier today the MSSARS 9316-class submarine rescue ship Yết Kiêu was officially handed over to the Vietnam People's Navy.
It would be remembered that the ship was launched back in December 3rd of 2019 but has spent the last year and several months being fitted out. Construction had started in mid-2018 at state-owned Factory Z189 shipyard.
The Yet Kieu is 3,950 tons and has a max speed of 15.7 knots per hour. It can operate at sea for 30 continuous days/nights and has the ability to withstand level 9 waves along with level 12 winds. It has an operational range of 4,000 nautical miles.
The vessel was unfortunately not prepared in time to offer assistance for the recent Indonesian navy disaster.
