The Nigerian Navy has a requirement for 10 x SDBs.

With 3 units delivered and 2 x units under construction the Nigerian Navy is well underway to fulfilling it's requirements.

While SDB 1 is mainly an Inshore Patrol Craft, SDB 2 and 3 were built to Patrol all of Nigeria's 200 Nautical miles and further.

NNS Oji is designed to spend 16 days at sea before replinshment.

Last year NNS Karaduwa (SDB 2) and NNS Ekulu (Ocea built patrol craft) sailed to Ghana on a diplomatic visit. This visit marked the first visit of a Nigerian built vessel off the shores of Nigeria.

The rust on some US Navy Destroyers on deployment is something else.

There are rumors that Egypt as well Indonesia have cancelled their Su-35 order. The Su-35s already manufactured for both countries will be delivered to Algeria instead!? Are these rumors true? Can anyone confirm this? Face with monocleFace with raised eyebrow

Algerian1, are these rumours true?

Odunayaw:

Most ships look bumpy, except if they are built with Aluminum.

Please kabe1 any information on SDB 4&5.. I mean their sizes and is there any picture of their design?

No official word on their sizes. However they are to be delivered in 12months time according to what they told Mr President.

We also know they are to be built concurrently at NDL, so I assume they would be of similar design and length to NNS Oji.

This is the design used during the presentation.

willybaby:
dopest picture of NNS OJI so far.. badass but of a truth our Military ain't perfect but they've come a long way

Yes, we have come a long way. We can certainly do better, but what we have is something to be proud of.

I am particularly excited about the SDB project.

Very modern design and 100% home built.
