Powered by three 4,000 hp diesel engines that drive three propellers, Durdharsha has a maximum speed of 35 knots (65 km/h; 40 mph). She has a range of 800 nautical miles (1,500 km; 920 mi) at 30 knots (56 km/h; 35 mph). [1]

The ship's armament consists of four C-704 anti-ship missiles and two AK-230 twin 30 mm guns, mounted on the bow and stern. She is equipped with one Type 352 Square Tie radar for surface search. [1] [2] [3]

Service

Durdharsha was commissioned into the Bangladesh Navy on 10 November 1988. She was severely damaged in the cyclone of April 1991. After extensive repairs she returned to active service. [1] In 2010, the ship was upgraded with modern C-704 replacing old SY-1 missiles as mid-life upgradation.
