The Singapore Volunteer Force (SVF) became the de facto naval force of the new state, though it remained under the command of the Royal Malaysian Navy. Three ships remained in Singapore after separation: KD Singapura, a captured Japanese minelayer; KD Bedok, a patrol boat from Malaysia; and KD Panglima, a former Royal Navy inshore patrol boat built in 1956. By agreement with the Malaysian government, Panglima was transferred in 1965, and on 1 February 1966, the SVF came under the command of Singapore and became the Singapore Naval Volunteer Force (SNVF), with Singapura and Bedok recommissioned as Republic of Singapore Ships (RSS); the former serving as a floating headquarters.
