AugustineAgain: I beg to differ. SAN is a blue water navy while NN is still a brown water navy which makes it inferior to SAN in terms of the figures. |

ActivateKruger: Your navy doesn't have basics like : - High speed high sea interceptors - Long endurance ocean patrol cutters that can sail around Africa - Stealth OPV - Stealth MPV - Stealth IPV - LUH helicopters South African navy will be dribbled and defeated by high speed pirates at sea or on coastline . |

mzilakazi: I proved my $2 Billion value. You should be honest enough to admit that. Define blue water navy from dictionary and lets see where NNS centenary, NNS Unity, NNS Thunder and NNS Okpabana will stand after sailing from Lagos to Australia without refuelling, I guess the deep ocean is not blue from Lagos to Australia, it's all brown swamp river water according to South African educational textbooks . |

patches689: Piracy isn't done in Nigerian waters. The seas are militarised. Most attacks this year took place away from Nigerian waters. Like Nigeria has consistently shown, if the need arises we would buy if we want to. You wasted money on Frigates, now you're looking to buy OPV's, seeing your dead beat frigates can't undergo long endurance patrols. The United states military and coast guard regularly upgrades their equipments. In many respects NNS Thunder and NNS Okpobana are more modern ships than your Frigates. Each both undertook an 8 million dollars up-grade. What is obsolete is your Sub which spent 7years at the docks. Another predictable South-African waste. 1 Like |

jln115: You are an ungrateful fellow, I spent one hour ending that information for you, you couldn't do it yourself. I got banned as agaugust posting Nigerian stealth combat catamarans from defenceweb, you try it and see . Ingrate. 215 ships was many years ago deal around 2008, since then we bought dozens more including the Dutch advanced vessels under construction now. We have over 300 total. I posted photos of Nigerian stealth catamarans today because I know it shocks every South African. Now you google this and post the web link for us to read : Nigerian navy X-38 combat catamarans defenceweb . |

patches689: NN geared towards Nigeria's threats. Smart Navy, Smart defence procurement. With the Gripen, you bought fighters you cannot afford. The effects of buying like a "mumu" is more than half the fleet in storage, and only 8 pilots to show after 15 years. The Mexicans have inquired about the Gripens, I hope Zuma acts intelligently and sells the Mexican airforce the Gripens. |

patches689: The T-72 does for the Nigerian army, what the Nigerian army requires of it. This is the only thing that matters. The chinese are the 4th largest weapons exporter, deal with that. Turkey, Europe's 6th largest economy and one of NATO's larger partners is buying the HQ-9 ADS. You cannot afford the Gripens you bought. You could not afford them when you bought them, you cannot afford them now, so why bother buying them? |

MikeCZAR: They are very much, very modern vessels. Pirates activities have decreased in Nigerian waters, most attacks have occurred in Angolan waters, your supposed Area of Influence. The Navy is currently built to carry out a specific role, which is effective patrolling and surveillance of Nigerian EEZ. We cannot say same for your navy or the lack of assets you have. |

Henry120: Who said SA cannot afford to maintain Gripens? SA has the capacity to operate gripens, it is just that for now military is not prioritised in budget allocations because no threats have been encountered so far. SA with a budget three times bigger than that of Nigeria prioritise Infrastructural development, health and social development most. |

AugustineAgain:www.northseaboats.com/x38_combat_i.htm#.VInLadKUfIQ As i thought the manufactures say nothing about it being stealth. GENERAL DESCRIPTION The Combat Cat is a stepped-hull high-speed power catamaran design that offers sea-keeping, speed and safety in all operating conditions. It can be configured for military, law enforcement, diving and Search and Rescue (SAR) use, and is ideally suited for rapid response interception, amphibious deployment of commandos, counter-piracy, medical evacuations or regular patrol work. For less cost and risk than other high value patrol or combat assets, it can provide striking power against critical targets, as well as protect inshore and off-shore resources and assets. It can also be equipped with enhanced features for special warfare operations. A catamaran has distinct advantages over mono-hull craft, as the low draft allows them to operate in shallow water and river estuaries, and conduct beach landings. Its wide beam reduces rolling, and produces a stable level ride, that makes it easier to come alongside other vessels, and creates a superior arms platform with improved weapons accuracy. The foredeck has a gun-well that provides 270 degree coverage for a GPMG, or a 40mm grenade launcher, and two large deck hatches ensure fast and direct access forward for amphibious assaults. The aft deck has space for 2 side mounted GPMG. The cabin accommodates a Captain/Navigator, helmsman, engineer and gunner, and features forward facing windows, which increases the effective cabin space, and reduces glare and heat build-up in the cabin. Troops or passengers are accommodated in transport seats in the hulls. The Combat Cat can be operated by a crew of 2 or 4, and is capable of carrying an additional 10 - 12 fully equipped troops. It can reach speeds of around 40 knots, using either twin inboard diesels or outboards. The inboard diesel model has large deck access hatches to the engines, and transom platforms for boarding and diving. CONSTRUCTION Built entirely from composite GRP with cored sandwich panels, utilising the vacuum resin infusion system. It incorporates vinylester resin and stitched multi-directional E glass and carbon fibre reinforcements and additional strengthening members. The closed-cell high density foam cores increase panel stiffness and reduce the weight usually associated with (solid) GRP boats. This offers great strength and robustness and maximises hull integrity in the event of a collision. Composite vessels have proven to have lower operational, maintenance and life-cycle costs, and longer life spans than aluminium and steel vessels. |

MikeCZAR: Nigeria has the Aradu, 5 corvettes and missile corvettes to wade of any external agression. This is the Nigerian Navy as of today. The Nigerian navy if the threats are real, would convert NNS thunder, NNS okpobana, NNS Centenary and NNS Unity into missile ships. We are very well prepared. The Gripens are stored because you lack money. Simple. Same as your A109's. |
