[edit] Fair use rationale

It is necessary to illustrate the external elements of the Sri Lanka Navy fleet,
It is of much lower resolution than the original (copies made from it will be of very inferior quality)
The image is being used in an informative way and should not detract from the original work.
No free or public domain images have been located for this item,
