The Nakhoda Ragam class is a class of corvette offshore patrol vessels originally built for the Royal Brunei Navy and named after the lead ship of the class, in turn named after a legendary Malay seafarer. Three vessels were built by BAE Systems Marine (now BAE Systems Maritime - Naval Ships). The ships were to be named: KDB Nakhoda Ragam KDB Bendhara Sakam KDB Jerambak The customer refused to accept the vessels and the contract dispute became the subject of arbitration. When the dispute was settled in favour of BAE Systems, the vessels were handed over to Royal Brunei Technical Services in June 2007. In 2013 it was announced that these warships had been sold to the Indonesian Navy and would soon be leaving Barrow where they have been laid up since 2007.

The harbour at Charlestown used to export large quantities of minerals, but is now best known as a place where sailing ships are often docked. On this visit those present were the barque Earl of Pembroke and the brigantine Phoenix , both of which are owned by Square Sail Shipyard.
