KD Maharaja Lela is the lead ship of Maharaja Lela-class frigate built locally by Boustead Heavy Industries Corporation (BHIC), and later Lumut Naval Shipyard, based on enlarged version of Naval Group's Gowind-class design.[2] She is named after Maharaja Lela, in honour of the Perak chieftain and British colonialism resistance leader, Dato Maharaja Lela.

Construction

[edit]

Under a contract valued of RM9 billion, BHIC was contracted to build a total of six class of this ship for RMN. Each of the ships are equipped with warfare capabilities for electronic, air, surface and underwater threats, integrated with state-of-the-art systems.

The ship's construction was started on 3 December 2014 with the first steel cut at the IHC Metalix facility in Kinderdijk, Netherlands. The materials were then shipped to Malaysia.[3] Another steel cutting ceremony took place on 12 June 2015 at the then-BHIC Shipyard in Lumut, Perak.[4] The ship was laid down on 8 March 2016.[5][6]

The frigate was officially named as KD Maharaja Lela and was launched on 24 August 2017 by Queen of Perak, Tuanku Zara Salim, witnessed by Sultan of Perak Sultan Nazrin Muizzuddin Shah at the BHIC Shipyard in Lumut, Perak.[7]
