Inside Africa’s Biggest Warship : NNS Thunder. by Nobody: 3:28am On Mar 23, 2017
The Nigerian Navy is the unquestioned dominant Naval force in West Africa (somebody shout halleluya) It is the largest Navy in terms of personnel and absolute tonnage, the Nigerian Navy has more tonnage than the combined navies of the 16 ECOWAS member countries combined. Technically it is the most advanced maritime force in the region. It’s technical superiority is further enhanced and augmented by its access to two of Nigeria’s five remote sensing satellites in orbit, much to the chagrin of the Nigerian Air Force whose request for similar access was flatly denied.

Unlike the dominant Naval Powers (Egypt & South Africa), the Nigerian Navy does not have Submarines, this is due to an absence of a comparable Naval threats in West Africa. Instead the Navy relies on a combination of frigates, missile crafts, stealth offshore patrol vessels and a number of fast attack vessels to defend Nigeria’s critical oil infrastructure and maritime economic zone. At the core of the Nigerian Navy’s Fleet is its flagship,the Hamilton Class Frigate, NNS THUNDER.

size of the ship is bunkum when Nigeria is not united. Boko sympathizers in uniform alone, or other disgruntled Nigerian groups can easily take the ship off - take it out.

Build the country's groups together first through Arewa conceding some political advantages; before we start to build the armed forces, if not, the ship is like an over-sized elephant in the midst of lions .

Most of the pictures are of someone trying to showcase himself and not the features of the ship.

These type of ships are not used in the Niger Delta area , Niger Delta is a riverine area ,and warships don't handle such areas.

we have seen too many threads on nairaland about ships been deployed to the Niger Delta besides the word Niger Delta means where the river Niger empties into the sea therefore it's both a sea water and river water area.

Those threads are misleading... what is mostly used in the Niger Delta terrain are tugboats ,patrol boats etc...

The ship is somebody’s decommissioned Frigate not even a Destroyer or Cruiser is publicly regarded as Nigeria’s biggest warship. Yet some goons in Nigeria are jumping in ecstasy. Does the poster know that Frigate is smaller than a Destroyer.
