On February 22, 2023, H.H. Sheikh Khaled bin Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, member of the Abu Dhabi Executive Council and Chairman of the Abu Dhabi Executive Office, inaugurated the Tunb Al Kubra naval vessel during the 7th edition of the Naval Defence Exhibition (NAVDEX 2023).
This naval vessel features an advanced threat monitoring system and a helipad, which adds to its capabilities in maritime defence operations.
Developed and manufactured locally by Al Fattan Ship Industry, Tunb Al Kubra will be inducted into the UAE Navy to provide logistical support for naval formations, secure transport of naval personnel and supplies, and assist in medical evacuations during crises and emergencies.
