Operations
Since joining the Sri Lankan fleet in 1983, she served as its flagship and was deployed for patrolling the coastal water around Sri Lanka. Due to this she was attached to the 7th Surveillance Command Squadron. During the Sri Lankan Civil War, Jayesagara was involved in anti arms smuggling patrols and maritime surveillance. In 2004 she took part in a joint naval exercise with the Indian Coast Guard. Since the end of the civil war she has engaged in search and rescue missions in the Indian Ocean.
gollark: There's also Pine's own RockPro64, which I think is ~~about as fast~~ somewhat faster as the Pi4 CPU-wise, and the ODROID N2, which is probably one of the most powerful reasonably cheap ARM SBCs about.
gollark: The RPi4 has a better CPU and GPU than the 3, no idea if it can run that.

gollark: London gets stupidly fast (10Gbit in some places, even) fibre, but most of the UK isn't London.
gollark: In the UK the internet connectivity situation seems pretty bad too - I think the only option here is BT, which has a "fibre" offering (VDSL to a box nearby which is connected to something else by actual fibre-optic) delivering amazing 34/8 (that's Mbps) speeds.
