Fynline: Here is the video were he made the comment.
Sincerely i did not expect the ship will be this big until i saw the videos. Would NN go for lst 80 as the sister ship like they did for the hydrographic vessels or are we to expect another lst 100. Time will tell.
A sister ship means the Nigerian Navy would go for a ship of the same size.
Why would the Nigerian Navy go for a smaller vessel? The reason the Nigerian Navy went for a smaller hydrographic vessel is to allow us chart our in-land water ways.
I don't see us going for a smaller ship.
Besides this LST, the Nigerian Navy at least 1 Frigate and 2 Corvettes.
We need to Torpedo NNS Aradu, give that warship a proper Viking burial.
In a separate interview with the CNS on board the ship, while speaking on maintenance of the newest fleet, Vice Admiral Gambo averred that efforts are on to acquire another one to compliment NNS KADA.
“This landing ship should come in pairs and we are making efforts and the government is determined to provide a sister edifice which would enhance our operations. We are expecting to get another one anytime soon.
