Nigerian Navy ( Foreign Navy).

The Nigerian Navy, established in 1956 as the Nigerian Naval Force, is the naval branch of the Nigerian Armed Forces. Originally tasked with coastal patrol and minor defense duties, it expanded significantly following Nigeria's independence in 1960. Over the decades, the Nigerian Navy has played vital roles in maritime security, anti-piracy operations in the Gulf of Guinea, and regional peacekeeping missions. The force continues to modernize with acquisitions of offshore patrol vessels, corvettes, and improved training to safeguard Nigeria’s maritime interests.
