The only submarine museum in Africa has reopened. I wasn't aware, until reading this, that SA had an intervention (though covert as it was) in Portugal's "Guerra do Ultramar" (Overseas War) in the 1970s.

SAS Isandlwana off Gansbaai in April.

#SANavy frigate SAS Isandlwana (F146), seen off Gansbaai near the southern-most tip of Africa in April, is now in Durban. Still without armament, there is a good chance she is going to SA Shipyards for a much-delayed midlife upgrade.
Limited funds = only essential work.

However, instead of patrolling our maritime border, the #SANavy has deemed it important that frigate SAS Amatola be speedily made seaworthy for a trip to Russia in July and replenishment vessel SAS Drakensberg to sail to Cuba later in the year.

Wow!

Chief of the #SANavy, V Adm Lobese, made some startling and totally unexpected announcements yesterday!

From international voyages and training, to logistics and future acquisitions.

So what is the future for the Navy this year?

A 🧵on the highlights.

The RoyalNavy is to report ‘Readiness Days’ over ‘Sea Days’ data. This encompass the days when ships are available & delivering operational impact, irrespective of whether they are at sea or docked.

The #SANavy still reports no of hours spent at sea. Is there a difference?

A thread.
