Amongst them are the Archer-class and Challenger-class Submarines, Formidable-class Frigates, Victory-class Missile Corvette, Fearless-class Patrol Vessel, Bedok-class Mine Counter-Measure Vessel and the Endurance-class Landing Ship Tank. The mural behind the display is a giant jigsaw puzzle that was done to commemorate the RSN’s 41st Anniversary in 2008. This jigsaw puzzle was entered into the Singapore Book of Records as the “Largest number of people completing a jigsaw puzzle”.
