Remembering Heroes on 30th Anniversary of Special Boat Squadron Source:Island ‘Fortune favours the brave’ By Admiral Ravindra C. Wijegunaratne (Retired From Sri Lanka Navy) Former Chief of Defence Staff & Chairman Trincomalee Petroleum Terminals Ltd. Fortune favours the Brave’ is the motto of the Sri Lanka Navy’s elite Special Boats Squadron (SBS). The Navy is considered as “Silent Service” because no one sees what it does out at sea. The Sri Lanka Navy’s elite Sea Commando Unit is the SBS, which was raised in 1993 to fight the LTTE Sea Tigers. The SBS is known as ‘The Silent of Silent Service’ because of what it does, and its capabilities only a few in the country are aware of. I was fortunate enough to raise this elite unit, in 1993, and command it twice in my naval career during the most demanding times of our battle against the LTTE terrorists in ...

Sri Lanka rout India after sluggish start to qualifiers for Rugby Asiad. – BY TREVINE RODRIGO IN MELBOURNE. (eLanka Sports Editor) Five years in Rugby wilderness did have an impact on Sri Lanka’s standards, but they steadied to rout India 45-10 at the Asian region top tier Rugby qualification at the Racecourse ground in Colombo. Political interference and issues off the field relegated Sri Lanka Rugby to the sidelines while the country struggled for redress. With the air cleared now, they have to qualify to play in the Asiad featuring powerhouses Japan, Chinese Taipei, Singapore, Malaysia, South Korea and other top nations in the region. The win over India catapulted them into the final with Kazakhstan and indications suggest that Sri Lanka, who has been a fierce competitor in the past, can regain their lost mojo in the fifteen man game. Political interference and power struggles with administrators in sport ...
