In a renewed bid to upgrade its fleet, the Nigerian Navy, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with a Turkish ship building company, Dearsan Shipyard Turkey, to remodel its flagship vessel, NNS ARADU.
The naval chief said the NNS ARADU, which was commissioned into the Nigerian Navy feet as the flag ship in 1985, had represented Nigeria in diverse naval operations and exercises within Africa and beyond. Gambo said that the choice of partnering with Messrs Dearsan Shipyard was based on the company’s track record in high-quality ship building capability as well as strict adherence to agreed timelines.
He said the MoU would re-ignite the partnership between both organisations in promoting synergy towards enhancing security as well as fostering operations and shipbuilding engagements that would enhance capability for the sustainable development of the blue economy for Nigeria’s prosperity. He said it had a sustained and independent blue water patrol over a range of 6,500 miles and provides gunfire support to friendly forces operating up to 16 kilometers from the coast.
