Navy to commission new defence boat

The Navy announced it would commission a Seaward Defence Boat (SDB) early next year.

According to Nigerian Navy Directorate of Information, the launch of the 38 metre vessel was a bold attempt at self-reliance in local construction of naval platforms.

“Since the Presidential directive at the commissioning of NNS ANDONI, the CNS, Vice Admiral Ezeoba, has left no stone unturned towards the construction of SDB 2. The 38M SDB is presently under construction at the Naval Dockyard Limited (NDL),” the Nigerian Navy Directorate of Information stated.

It added that the project started with the construction of the inverted hull as a single unit, while the superstructure is being built as a separate entity.

Upon completion of both units, they will now be welded together to achieve a single compact unit.

The various segments of the superstructure have been fabricated and welded together.

Earlier this month, history was made in the Navy, when upon completion of the hull, it was turned from the inverted position to the upright position and placed on keel blocks.

Nigerian Navy Directorate of Information said the boat was now ready for the next stage of the project which includes the welding of the superstructure, construction of tanks, piping systems, electrical installations and installation of propulsion machinery amongst others.

In ten to 30% of pénis fractures, the urethra is damaged and blood may be visible at the urinary opening. Given these signs, an injury should be relatively simple to diagnose, right? You would be surprised, even with the unsettling sounds of a fracture occurring, many men...

AWS Battles Rivals: Advertising Campaign

Amazon Web Services has defeated IBM in a competition for lucrative federal contracts, threatened Microsoft's core businesses, and reshaped corporate technology. In the last few months, the pioneering cloud-computing unit of the online retail giant has taken a page from the playbook of some of its more traditional competitors: It started advertising. Ads have been splashed across billboards and in airport terminals, television spots and web videos, featuring a whiteboard full of sketches of software architecture and appeals to invent something using Amazon's collection of rented computing services. The advertising campaign, which bears the "Build On" tagline, represents a milestone in AWS' march from technology upstart to one of the major players in business software, technologists and marketers say. For many years, AWS didn't advertise, partly because it didn't have to. The service held a wide lead over the competition, and word-of-mouth was enough to...
