History Of One Of The Warships Bought By Our Government by Omeife2: 8:34am On Feb 23, 2015
Our Government purchased as Ship commisioned on 20 December 1968 by the US Government with So much celebration and funfair. When will we ever do anything decent in this country? Did we even pay for this? It more or less looks like it was discarded to us.

NNS Okpabana is a Hamilton-class high endurance cutter which formerly served with the U.S. Coast Guard as USCGC Gallatin (WHEC-721). Built at Avondale Shipyards near New Orleans, Louisiana, Gallatin was named for Albert Gallatin, the fourth and longest serving United States Secretary of the Treasury. Gallatin completed its final patrol 11 December 2013 and will be decommissioned in 2014 before being transferred to the Nigerian Navy.[1]

Some people are just fond writing rubbish based on their limited knowledge. I am following a thread here nairaland, it is so insightful. There are alot being posted there that you can never find on even wiki and other Google search. The op of the thread said he has to open the thread in other to let the world know more about African military, than what the Western media portray us. And the guy even refused to allow the thread to hit front page because of the uncontrolled utterances of many here on nairaland

The question is whether it can done the job it was purchased for. If no,there's a problem. If yes,OP and APC ZIP IT!

Jonathan has been buying outdated ships and trains and celebrating seriously like we just built them

Other countries are buying new war equipments from China and Russia but we are buying the ones the U.S and others are looking for where to dump them.

Everything will change come may 29th, Instead of going back we will move forward...we have a lot of catching up to do with other African nations but GMB/PYO will set us on that track

God Bless GMB
God Bless SW NIG.
God Bless APC
God Bless Nigeria
