NIGERIAN NAVY LAUNCHES NEW WARSHIP

The Nigerian Navy (NN) has today launched a new Landing Ship Tank (LST) at Damen Shipyard, Sharjah, United Arab Emirates. The construction of the ship began about 2 years ago and when commissioned, will replace the first set of LSTs of the NN, NNS AMBE and NNS OFIOM which have been decommissioned.

The introduction of the LST to the NN inventory will bolster NN sealift capability. Specifically, it would enhance the transportation of troops, military hardware, vehicles in the conduct of maritime security operations launched from sea as well as supply of relief material during periods of national emergency. Furthermore, the vessel will serve as a critical component of naval power projection for enhanced maritime security in the Gulf of Guinea and beyond.

In its secondary role, the LST will play a critical role in the protection of maritime assets and preservation of law and order at sea, thus contributing significantly to promotion of global maritime commerce, peace and safety. The new LST has a complement of 32 crew and 250 embarked persons and a length of 100.08m. She is powered by 2 Caterpillar/Cat 3516 C-rating engines and 4 Caterpillar C-18 generators. Furthermore, she has an endurance of 15 days @ 15 knots. If she is to be used for humanitarian missions/evacuation, she can accommodate over 450 persons on its upper and lower decks in short trips.

The bid opening process for the procurement of the LST was held on 19 December 2017 and supervised/conducted by a team from the Bureau of Public Procurement as well as a technical committee of the Nigerian Navy. The Shipbuilding companies that participated were Damen Shipyards of the Netherlands, Anadolu Deniz of Turkey and Indian Shipyards GOA of India.

On 13 June 2019, the NN and Damen Shipyards signed the final general arrangement plan and specifications on the LST 100 and this date of 13 June 2019 became the effective date of contract for the LST 100. The contract duration as agreed by both parties was approximately 36 months from the effective date of contract. The Keel laying ceremony for the LST 100 was held on the 9 December 2019 at The Damen-Albwardy Shipyard in Sharjah the UAE.

The immediate past CNS Vice Admiral IE Ibas placed the Nigerian Navy insignia into the keel and sealed it. Over the last 2 years several Factory Acceptance Tests with regards to various components of the LST 100 have been jointly and successfully completed by the NN and Damen Shipyards. Most notable among these FAT’s was the main propulsion engines tested in 2019/ 2020 and the Remote Weapon system which was also successfully tested in March 2021.

Damen Shipyards is one of the biggest multinational shipbuilding groups in the world, operating more than 50 shipbuilding and repair yards worldwide. On the African continent, they operate a full shipbuilding yard in South Africa and in Port Harcourt Nigeria, they operate a fully equipped maintenance yard.

The LST contract is being handled by DSNS (Damen Schelde Naval Shipbuilding) the naval shipbuilding arm of Damen shipyards and the ship is being constructed at the Damen-Albwardi Shipbuilding Yard in Sharjar in the UAE.

Others are building Submarines they're converting fishing trawlers by fixing machine guns, installing London used computers, fixing DSTV dish and repainting

This is what happens when you quickly make comments to attract likes and shares. Instead of reading, he quickly typed nonsense so his fellows will start donating likes and shares.

Now read this and see the sense in your useless comment. Place special attention to the emboldened. That is if you even understand what the statement means.

Most you guys wail about everything

I pains me to see all these under the control of fulani dullards......if we yoruba's have put our acts together we'd be the one's running this country. bororo foolany bastards with no access to sea are the ones controlling navy....big shame.

OP....the article never said anything about it being a warship.....do you know what a warship looks like. Kindly correct the title.

Pls how does a warship look like? I want to learn. Maybe is for cruising and cargo abi? A ship with guns and capable of moving soldiers during emergency is not a warship? Pls what then is a warship?

Now read this:

Now read this:

The article never said anything about it having guns.......a warship has guns and missile systems. This is a simply a rescue and transport boat.....no different from the one used by the RedCross. The last part you quoted shows you probably lack comprehension skills.

Below is the real use case for the boat, it's not a combat ship:

The new LST has a complement of 32 crew and 250 embarked persons and a length of 100.08m. She is powered by 2 Caterpillar/Cat 3516 C-rating engines and 4 Caterpillar C-18 generators.

Continue the blind pilotage.

Now, if you can read with comprehension, interpret the emboldened.

It's a RedCross boat stop bitching.....fixture is probably just for optics and bs. Below is the real use case as stated by the article.

she is to be used for humanitarian missions/evacuation, she can accommodate over 450 persons on its upper and lower decks in short trips.

God Bless President Buhari
God Bless Federal Republic of Nigeria

Here is your statement to support your useless argument;

a warship has guns and missile systems.

I showed you this;

Remote Weapon system which was also successfully tested in March 2021.

Instead of hiding your face, you went further to prove more ignorance by quoting one of the roles of warships as another useless proof? So which ship would you prefer be used for humanitarian mission and evacuation?

You think warship is just about firing guns?
Go find out the various roles of military in war time and stop typing rubbish on the internet.

This is an amphibious landing ship, it goes to war carrying troops and helicopters to fight war, it has a cannon gun to fight with right there on the deck, but you still think it's not a war ship? What is it used for? For picnic at Takwa Bay?

Sometims if feels like there are too many elementatry school shildren on NL.

Obviously.... you're daft. I'd make it simple.

Below is what your government rescue boat is said to be used for:

she is to be used for humanitarian missions/evacuation, she can accommodate over 450 persons on its upper and lower decks in short trips.

Below is a screenshot of what a warship is and used for.

Talking about daftness?

Let's check who is displaying daftness.

Now, how does the screenshot actually support your jaundiced argument?

First "a ship that is built and primarily intended for naval warfare".

What are the purpose of movement of soldiers and military hardware, humanitarian and evacuation activities? For political rallies? Or is it a boys brigade warfare?

Second, "usually they belong to the armed forces of a state".

So, who owns this LST? Or you think it was acquired by Aliko Dangote?

Third, "as well as being armed".
Was it not stated the weapon was tested?

Fourth, "they are designed to withstand damage and high speed"
So you can see it can't withstand damage?

Did you not see the speed clearly stated as 15 knots? Or what do you think is 15 knots? A simple Google check shows 15knots is 27.78 kph. For a ship of 100m in length, is that speed not high enough?

From the above, you can fairly say who is actually daft.
