Stormtrooper11: We all agree that the P18N is an OPV. Nobody is arguing to the contrary. I shared a picture of our Frigate and Navy Type056 ships side by side to show size difference between a Frigate & a Corvette. Our resident South African clown started arguing something entirely different like government work. 10 Likes 2 Shares |

jl115:By size (length) a destroyer. It had SAMs, S-S misilles, EW, ASW and carried a chopper. We called it a frigate for a reason. |

RiceProducers:nope by tonnage and length it's actually a frigate....and a small one in fact Just like the meko200 the meko360 was quite heavily armed in its day but it is still in terms of tonnage smaller than most frigates Only Argentina refer to the meko360 as a destroyer 2 Likes |

RiceProducers:According to the manufacturer of the vessel NNS Aradu, which is a type MEKO-360H1, its classified as a "General purpose frigate". We talked about classification of capital vessels in navies around the world in my earlier post. The Nigerian navy classified it as a frigate. The Argentine navy, operates something similar to ours. It's the MEKO-360H2 vessel. According to the Argentine navy, it's a destroyer. General purpose frigates, are like the link between Frigates and destroyers. Its systems could be easily upgraded to destroyer standards. In my opinion, MEKO-360H1, i.e NNS Aradu, is truly a frigate. Frigates are slower to destroyers. NNS Aradu is 56km/hr. NNS Aradu is a frigate. 2 Likes |

Dont think quantum of weaponry dictates the classification of a warship Basically classification is determined by the end user , a destroyer in one navy can be a frigate in another navy , so best to go with end user classification 6 Likes |

jl115: OPV.... lol. Nigeria sailed it's "OPV" to the Gambia at the behest of ECOWAS to harass an illegally self perpetuating Head of State. The OPV has a helideck that carries choppers that can shoot air to sea missiles. All the other corvettes in its size range built by the same manufacturer never carried choppers. Only SAMs, ASW missile and anti ship. It was air launched anti ship missiles that sank a UK destroyer very easily during the Falklands war. The point is that Nigeria has a creative approach to specifying weapon platforms to meet threat gaps....and yes they are projecting power with OPVs that also hold oil spill clean up equipment.. ha ha ha. They are now getting two large LSTs soon. The LSTs will be armed with tame 76mm guns but they will carry choppers... hmmmn. The choppers would be for *search and rescue ", support for oil spill response and may be support for Red Cross.. *wink 1 Like |

jl115:please go and make research most of your argument are baseless. A p 18 can be armed if the need come.you have no point in saying that a p 18 cannot be armed. If the nigeria navy want it to be armed they will go for general refit of the ship |

JOSCOFELIX: Nigeria bought Aspide, Exocet, Otomat missiles in the 80s and 90s. The entire world knows this. The story goes they destroyed them all. A NAF vision document recommended the procurement of Chinese anti ship missiles for the JF17 Block 2. There is no indication yet whether they have been bought or not. 1 Like |

NTSA: Frank Lowy,the Westgate mall owner was also involved in-guess what,(drum roll!) the WTC!? His Westfield America has a 99 yr lease on 1,2,4 and 5. Fifty days before 9/11, Larry Silverstein's Silverstein Properties and Frank Lowy's Westfield Americas ecured a 99-year lease on World Trade Center Buildings One, Two, Four and Five. Silverstein already owned Building Seven. The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey handed over control of the World Trade Center to Silverstein and Lowy on July 24, 2001. Lowy leased the shopping concourse area called the Mall at the World Trade Center, made up of approximately 427,000 square feet of retail floor space.http://spikethenews..com/2013/10/kenya-frank-lowry-owner-of-westgate-mall.html Luckily,for Londoners Al Shabaab have only threatened his properties there.

kabe1:I got high hopes and expectations for this visit. I do remember that the last COAS, made contact with the proforce CEO,but it was very obvious then that Buratai wasn't serious with making a deal with proforce. I like this present COAS and the present crop of high ranking officers leading our military. Gen. Faruk approach, looks much more determined to bring the needed positive impact on our Army. 5 Likes |
