Lip service is at the best!. Why is there a necessity to promote incumbent Navy Commander to next higher rank and set him retire?. The rank of Admiral is given to anyone who has actively served the country immensely on war time otherwise the Nave commander position is for someone with real admiral rank. There is no on going war at the moment.
It is eye washing appointment and rather ridiculous.
PLease be shut up if u don’t knw about the military procedures. its a military practise to promote to the next rank on the retirement. (and also in the death)
True. I was thinking the very same thing. Why promote the guy to 4* admiral??? It’s because of political connections. Nothing else. 4* is a rank you EARN. It is not a rank you get in SL.
Please shut up if u don’t know the naval procedure. It’s the normal way of the navy that, if a Vice Admiral become the Commander of the Navy, then when he’s retiring, the naval board and the president’s board are promoting him to the rank of Admiral depending on the service that he has done for the country and the navy. Adm Dissanayaka pioneered in constructing new navy hospital @ walisara, New naval base @ panama & puttalam. developing naval camps @ walisara, galle(dakshina), diyathalawa (holiday bungalows), tangalle (ruhuna) & kirinda.
Finally the reason that a naval commander promoting to the rank of Admiral 2 days before the retirement is, Our country is still a developing country and therefore the naval fleet is not big enough still. in order to make an Admiral a navy commander, our navy should have enough fleet. its same for other forces as well. thats why Adm dissanayaka got the rank as Admiral after a new navy commander was announced. Coz technically an admiral cannot be a navy commander in a developing county unless he receives a presidents medal as a war hero and gets promoted for his bravery and performance in the war (like Adm karannagoda).
