Al Jazeera has been given exclusive access to the Sri Lankan navy and as Tony Birtley, Al Jazeera's correspondent in Sri Lanka, reports, the conflict between the government and the Tamil Tigers has been particularly intense at sea.
Loaded with weaponry and capable of speeds of up to 70km an hour, the navy's fight against the Sea Tigers - the Tamil Tigers' naval arm - is spearheaded by its fast-attack craft.
Since last August, the Sri Lankan navy has claimed a number of successes, taking control of much of the area around Trincomalee, the site of its main naval base.
