LCS 1 launched in 2017 was actual vessel, not a dummy, says former Navy chief


PETALING JAYA: The littoral combat ship (LCS) launched in Lumut in 2017 was not a dummy but was the actual vessel under construction, says former Royal Malaysian Navy chief Admiral (Rtd) Tan Sri Ahmad Kamarulzaman Ahmad Badaruddin.

He was responding to allegations on social media that the launch of KD Maharajalela (referred to as LCS 1) was just for show and that the actual ship was not at the event.
