The lecture was presented to 30 participants as part of the Module on Naval
History. The participating officers are mainly from the Nigerian Navy but with
a component from the Nigerian Army, Nigerian Air force and foreign allied
navies, coming this year from Ghana, Cameroon and the Democratic Republic of
Congo. They are generally middle cadre officers i.e. Lieutenant Commanders,
Commanders and their equivalents in the other armed services.
My thanks go to Captain Timothy Etubus, the Sponsor Director of the lecture,
and other staff at the college including Air Commodore Seun Oluwatayo who gave
the closing remarks after I had concluded my lecture by fielding questions from
the participants.
NB.

2024 edition of The Mariner's Mirror, the international journal of the Society
