Abiodun Oluwarotimi<\/p>\n

13 May 2011<\/p>\n

\n

Washington DC \u2014 The United States Coast Guards would today in California donate a giant war ship to the Nigerian Navy in its bid to further strengthen the regional security aspect of the Bio-national agreement between the US and the Nigerian government.<\/p>\n

The war ship (Cutter) will be donated to the Nigerian Navy in recognition of the good relationship that exists between the two nations.<\/p>\n

Our correspondent authoritatively gathered that the vessel was commissioned to the United States Navy in 1968 but was later de-commissioned on March 29, 2011.<\/p>\n

The war ship that the Nigerian Navy will take delivery of today had participated in several missions of the United States in enforcing maritime treaties.<\/p>\n

LEADERSHIP learnt that the refurbished war ship, which has a high level of maneuverability, an helicopter pad, guns (76mm) and two diesel engines has no missile capability.<\/p>\n

Investigations showed that the ship would not sail to Nigeria until July 2011 as a result of the training that has been organised for the Nigerian crew.<\/p>\n

The training which begins on May 16, 2011, would be completed in July, after which the ship would sail to Nigeria.<\/p>\n

An official of the Nigerian embassy reliably told our correspondent that the Nigerian Navy, which already has 21 engineers on a sister ship, undergoing trainings since February 2011, is fully prepared to manage the newly acquired war ship effectively.<\/p>\n

The source added that the Nigerian Navy has capable officers that will maintain the vessel due to the continuous training that has been on since.<\/p>\n
