‘Boustead has a dockyard’

Fast and agile vessel: The littoral combat ship is similar to the vessel ‘USS Freedom’ (LCS 1), which is seen taking part in a divisional tactics drill in this filepic.

PETALING JAYA: The littoral combat ship (LCS) project was given to contractor Boustead Naval Shipyard Sdn Bhd (BNS) based on several factors, says Datuk Seri Najib Razak.

The former prime minister said Boustead was owned by the Armed Forces Fund Board (LTAT) so all profits of the project would shift to the armed forces.
