RSS Victory (88) is the lead ship of the Victory-class multi-role combat vessels of the Republic of Singapore Navy (RSN). [5] She will have the same name and pennant number as her predecessor, RSS Victory, a missile corvette launched in 1988, upon the latter's decommissioning. She is planned to be delivered to the RSN in 2028. [2]

Construction

Her keel was laid in ST Marine's Benoi Yard on 22 October 2024 in a ceremony officiated by Permanent Secretary (Defence Development) Melvyn Ong. Ong and Chief of Navy Rear Admiral Sean Wat then partook in the traditional coin ceremony. Representatives of ST Marine, the Defence Science and Technology Agency, RSN midshipmen and the 8th Flotilla were present. [1]

Victory was named and launched at Benoi Yard on 21 October 2025 by the spouse of Defence Minister Chan Chun Sing, in a ceremony officiated by the minister. Gul Yard will then take over Victory's fitting out and sea trials. [2]
