Fifth LMV launched for Singapore Singaporean shipbuilder ST Marine has launched the country's fifth Littoral Mission Vessel (LMV). The ship, which will be in service with the Republic of Singapore Navy (RSN) as RSS Indomitable with pennant number 19, was launched on 23 September at the company's shipyard in Benoi. Indomitable is one of eight LMVs ordered under a contract awarded to ST Marine in 2013. The programme seeks to replace the RSN's 11 Fearless-class patrol vessels, which were built by the same shipbuilder and have been in service since the mid-1990s.
