From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Since the
Vietnam War
, most of Vietnamese vessels were supplied by the
Soviet Union
and presently by
Russia
, while hundreds more were integrated into the navy after it was left over from
South Vietnam
although many have been decommissioned due to lack of parts. However, due to rising tensions in the
South China Sea
, many nearby nations such as
Japan
have shown support in developing
Vietnam's Navy
and
Coast Guard
.
[1]
The Vietnam People's Navy is the branch of the
Vietnam People's Army
with the fastest modernization as the
Vietnamese government
put it as a main priority, with constant improvement to its weapons, munitions and combat capability.

As the Vietnam People's Navy is responsible for protecting the nation's sovereignty and economic activities at sea, as well to repulse unauthorised foreign vessels intruding into Vietnamese waters, Vietnam's policy has considered the modernisation of the Navy a priority task in the overall military modernisation plan. As stated on 5 August 2011 by
Minister of Defence
Phung Quang Thanh
:
The direction of building up the armed forces is one to follow the revolutionary spirit, regularisation and effectiveness and gradual modernisation. Within this context, the Navy, the Air Force, the Signal Corps and Electronic Warfare will proceed directly into modernisation to protect the country.

- Frigates and corvettes: Two
Gepard-class frigates
were laid down in 2011 by the Zelenodolsk shipyard in Russia, named 011
Dinh Tien Hoang
and 012
Ly Thai T?
, and two more were ordered. A contract was made in 2011 with Schelde Naval Shipbuilding in the Netherlands to build two
Sigma-class corvettes
in the Netherlands and two more in Vietnam.
[40]
The Vietnam People's Navy has itself built six
Tarantul-class corvettes
(Molniya class) with Russian supervision and has designed and built the first warships of the
TT-400TP gunboat
class.
[41]
Vietnam also purchased two
Pohang-class corvettes
were purchased from South Korea, one in 2017 and one in 2018. Additionally, India donated one
Khukri-class corvette
in 2023.
[42]
- Submarines: Vietnam deployed its first submarine flotilla, Flotilla 182, on 1 June 1982. This flotilla was trained in
Cam Ranh Bay
under the guidance of Soviet submarine officers and used North Korea's
Yugo-class submarine
. In April 2011, Vietnam ordered six
Kilo-class submarines
worth about 1.8 billion dollars, said to be the entire defence budget of Vietnam in 2009. With six submarines, the first to be delivered in 2012 and the last one to be delivered by 2016, Vietnam will own the largest and most modern submarines in
Southeast Asia
.
[43]
- Offshore patrol vessel: When
Vietnamese Prime Minister
Nguy?n T?n D?ng
visited India in October 2014 it was announced that India will supply 4 naval vessels to Vietnam, and quickly operationalise a $100 million line of credit which will allow Vietnam to purchase new vessels from India.
[44]
- Naval air force
: The Vietnam People's Navy prepared to build the Naval Air Force to increase the capacity of coastal defence. On 27 February 2010, the
Vietnamese People's Army General Staff
decided to build and make the 954th Naval Air Force Regiment a regular member of the Vietnamese Navy. Vietnam has purchased three
CASA C-212 Aviocar
Series 400 aircraft. The aircraft are equipped with MSS 6000 radar and the Naval Air Force will use them for general patrol purposes. Vietnamese Navy received two
Eurocopter EC225 Super Puma
to offshore patrol and search and rescue missions.
[45]
Viking Air Company of Canada contracted to sell to Vietnam six Seaplane
DHC-6 Twin Otter
Series 400 aircraft from 2012 to 2014. While eight
Kamov Ka-28
helicopters also transferred to the naval air force.
[46]
- Coastal defence missile force: Vietnam People's Navy is building a coastal defence missile force (the 679th Coastal Missile Regiment) to become a core force in its maritime security strategy, with Russian and Indian missile systems. The Vietnamese Navy has already produced for itself the
P-5 Pyatyorka/Shaddock
anti-ship missile, with a range of 550 km. Vietnam was the only customer to which the Soviet Union exported this missile system. The then Russia delivered two
K-300P Bastion-P
coastal defence systems to Vietnam. The Bastion system uses the
P-800 Oniks
/Yakhont supersonic anti-ship missile, primarily used to attack targets on land and sea, has an attack range of 300 km, and can be used to protect a coastline of over 600 km.
[47]
During a 2014 visit of Vietnamese Prime Minister Nguy?n T?n D?ng to India, the
Indian government
under
Prime Minister
Narendra Modi
showed willingness to sell their
BrahMos
supersonic cruise missiles developed by the Russia-India joint venture
BrahMos Aerospace Private Limited
to Vietnam.
[48]
The Vietnamese are now starting to locally produce the anti-ship missile
Kh-35 Uran-E
after receiving 33 missiles in 2010.
