its a mini frigate, Nigeria is moving forward.

I will say manybe Corvette, not frigate.

A Corvette is 60 meters to 85 meters in length.

GeneralFarouq:

Explain further pls

watch closely....years ago,you couldnt differentiate between a boko fighter and a nigerian soldier....
they all had the habits to dress like normadic warriors....

now,some few years later,they look more uniformed and specialized....

OK noted

Great to see..... The Nigerian defence industry has come along leaps and bounds the last few years.

you are south african, right?

kabe1:




The new ship Nigeria is building locally would almost be as long as this ship (pictured) in length.

The one pictured is 50 meters in length, the Nigerian ship is 45 meters in length.

Oga there is no budget on for a ship longer than 38m to be built in Nigeria by the Nigerian Navy. Na you know where you see 50m ship and to the guy who is hoping it is a corvette. No locally built corvette yet. Nigeria is getting two extremely large LSTs maybe next year but they are not.being.built here

Nawa, even thou Karaduwa is 40m? How is it they don't have budget for a 50m ship?

By the way quote were anybody claimed it's a corvette

is an IPV not a mini frigate

it's an IPV boys.... Let's not get ahead of our selves

Mpv(Midshore patrol vessel) not IPV(Inshore patrol vessel).. it will be fitted with Missiles systems too so.its even more capable than a MPV

don't want to get in to a debate if its an IPV or MPV but I will state that IPVs are usually between 50 and 60m, and the ones being built for the South African Navy are 62meters.

But what I will debate is the bolded: do you have any sources backing up this claim.....the Nigeria Navy currently has no missile capability,thus it won't make sense for them to fit missiles on a 50m boat vs fitting them either on your p18s or reactivating NNS Aradu.

our karaduwa which is 40m long is an MPV.And yes we do have three missile combatte class ships.

didnt i told you a while ago to stfu....!!??

Mpv or IPV... Doesn't matter roles differ from country to Country, 40m for example is way to small to fulfil even an ipv role due to our rough coast line.

And you had 1 missile combatte NNS Aradu which is no longer active, and neither your P18s are fitted with any missiles.

obidark:


didnt i told you a while ago to stfu....!!??

who are you again?

jln115:
yes

and you geniunely think Nigeria has improved, or you are only being sarcastic?

why does length of a ship matter?

stfu already....!!

I'm being 100% genuine.... And I've started this on numerous occasions!!

MiddleDimension:

Stability.... The rougher the seas the longer the ship.

At this stage we are using Warrior class OPVs which at 58m make for an extremely uncomfortable ride.

SDB III is 45 meters long it is currently been built in Lagos.

Nobody said it's a Corvette, I said a Corvette is 60 - 85 meters long.

Easy with the emotions. What mini frigate?

Toju200:
Mpv(Midshore patrol vessel) not IPV(Inshore patrol vessel).. it will be fitted with Missiles systems too so.its even more capable than a MPV

You heard NN say they are fitting it with Missiles ba

Toju200:

All three combattante class have been stripped of their missile capabilities and are in the MPV role now.


Fine, our biggest issue is Piracy but I hate the posture of the Navy. Its not a warfighting posture at all

Ok lemme just break it down to what I know..I'm still very young (17yrs) and I may be wrong or right.First The Andonni class SDB1 is an 30meters inshore patrol vessel Right.And it wasn't built to sail offshore in higher seas.Good.
Karaduwa class SDB2 is a 40meters Midshore patrol vessel.Which has participated in several international Maritime exercise but in the shores of Nigeria And outside.The vessel was one of the star attraction at Ghana Navy Anniversary.it showcased the ingenuity of our naval engineers.The current vessel under construction is according to the CNS going to showcase the ingenuity of the naval dockyard.
Now we may not have any ship with missile capability,or Anti submarine warfare.We will get there.The Navy is first dealing with its current challenge.We critizing the Navy for not buying subs or Frigates is like tell the NAF to go for the S400 air defense systems when we know what they need is CTCOIN platform for insurgency ops.All I'm saying is whether it's a Gunboats or IPV NDL builds we should appreciate it.they have a vision and they are getting somewhere.I can proudly say Nigeria is among nation's who has developed their military hardware from scratch.Rather than license built.which is a Good thing...
Next year we will receive one of our LST from Damen, Hydrographic ship from Ocean.E.T.C and some helo from Leonardo helicopters

You're quick to excrete all over the place. The combatantte were rerolled into MPVs and are doing their darn share of patrols.

You are well informed and will make a fine officer, give it a shot if it aligns with your goals.
