The Ultra Fast Attack Craft, commonly known as the UFAC[2] or Colombo class, is a Sri Lankan ultra high-speed class of patrol boats meant for a variety of naval missions from off-shore coastal patrol missions to high-speed, high-maneuver littoral warfare. They are based on the Shaldag boats made by Israel.[2]

Built by Colombo Dockyard Limited for the Sri Lanka Navy (SLN),[1] they became the workhorse of the SLN against Sea tiger boats of the LTTE.
