Extensive Brazilian aid has assisted in the development of the Namibian Navy. The naval pioneers were only sent to Brazil in 1995 after Walvis Bay was integrated into Namibia in 1994, they were the core group that would be responsible for setting up the navy. The group consisted of command and staff officers. They completed their studies in 1998 from the Admiral Wandenkolk Instruction Center,in Rio de Janeiro.〔http://www.mod.gov.na/pages/news_navy.html〕 The Maritime wing headquarters was then setup in 1998 while in 2000 the Navy base construction at Walvis Bay started.〔 Consisting of approximately 900〔http://wwwisis.unam.na/theses/mwandingi2011.pdf〕 personnel the Navy deploys a small number of lightly armed patrol vessels. The first maritime wing commander was Captain Phestus Sacharia. The first ship to be commissioned into service was the donated patrol boat Oryx in 2002.〔(Namibia Defence Force: ''Namibia Navy marks its day''.(n.d). ) Retrieved October 10, 2011, Namibian Ministry of Defence〕 Brazil and Namibia signed an agreement in 2004 for the delivery of a patrol boat and two smaller patrol craft. The newly built 200 ton patrol boat ''Brendan Simbwaye'', built at the Brazilian shipyard INACE, was commissioned on January 19, 2009.〔''(Press release: Brazil exports warship to Namibia )'', Brazilian Navy, January 8, 2009. 〕 An ongoing co-operation program allows Namibian sailors and naval officers to be trained by the Brazilian Navy; by 2009, 466 seamen had been trained. Brazil also provided assistance in preparing a nautical chart of the approach to Walvis Bay and consulting in charting the outer limits of the continental shelf.〔(Brazil-Namibia co-operation ), Brazilian Navy 〕 The Brazilian Navy has also trained the Namibian Marine Corps. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Namibian Navy」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
