The '''Ghana Navy''' ('''GN''') is the [[naval warfare]] organizational [[military branch]] of the [[Ghana Armed Forces|Ghanaian Armed Forces]] (GAF). The Ghanaian Navy, along with the [[Ghana Army|Ghanaian Army]] (GA) and [[Ghana Air Force|Ghanaian Air Force]] (GHF), make up the [[Ghana Armed Forces|Ghanaian Armed Forces]] (GAF) which are controlled by the [[Ministry of Defence (Ghana)|Ghanaian Ministry of Defence]] (MoD).

==History==

The nucleus of the Ghana Navy is the Gold Coast Naval Volunteer Force formed during [[World War II]]. It was established by the colonial [[United Kingdom|British]] administration to conduct seaward patrols to ensure that the coastal waters of the colony were free from [[Naval mine|mines]]. Following Ghana's attainment of independent nationhood on 6 March 1957 from the UK, the country's military was reorganized and expanded to meet its new challenges. A new volunteer force was raised in June, 1959 with headquarters at [[Takoradi]] in the [[Western Region (Ghana)|Western Region]] of Ghana.  The men were drawn from the existing [[Gold Coast Regiment]] of Infantry. They were under the command of British [[Royal Navy]] officers on [[secondment]]. On 29 July 1959, the Ghana Navy was established by an [[Act of Parliament]]. The force had two divisions based at Takoradi and [[Accra]] respectively.<ref name="history">{{cite web |title=Historical Background of The Ghana Navy |url=http://www.gaf.mil.gh/index.php?CatId=80 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070827030845/http://www.gaf.mil.gh/index.php?CatId=80 |archive-date=2007-08-27 |access-date=2007-06-11 |work= |publisher=Ghana Armed Forces}}</ref> On 1 May 1962, the British Navy formed the Royal Navy Element of the British Joint Services Training Team, thus changing the nature of its relationship with the Ghana Navy. The first Chief of the Naval Staff was [[D. A. Foreman|Captain D. A. Foreman]], a retired British Naval Officer. He was granted a Presidential Commission as a Ghana [[Officer (armed forces)|naval officer]] in the rank of [[Commodore (rank)|commodore]].<ref>S. Addoe, ''General History of Ghana Armed Forces: a reference volume'', 2005, pp.466-7</ref> In September 1961 [[Kwame Nkrumah|Nkrumah]] terminated the employment of British officers in the armed forces: the first Ghanaian to become Chief of the Naval Staff was [[David Animle Hansen|Rear Admiral David Animle Hansen]], who was transferred from the Ghana army to head the navy. On September 14 1990, the GNS ''Achimota'' was hit by [[National Patriotic Front of Liberia|NPFL]] artillery while on a fact-finding mission near [[Monrovia]]. As a result, 2 Ghanaian sailors and 3 Nigerian nurses were killed, and the [[Ghanaian Air Force]] retaliated with [[airstrike|airstrikes]].<ref>{{cite book|last=Adebajo|first=Adeyeke|date=2002|title= Liberia's Civil War: Nigeria, ECOMOG, and Regional Security in West Africa|publisher=Lynne Rienner|page=79|isbn=9781588260529}}</ref>

===Past naval vessels===

The initial fleet of the navy consisted of two [[Ham-class minesweeper]]s, GNS ''Yogaga'' and GNS ''Afadzato''. They were recommissioned on 31 October 1959. They were joined by four [[T43-class minesweeper]]s from the [[Soviet Union]] between 1961 and 1964, three [[Komar-class missile boat]]s between 1967 and 1970 and one more in 1980, and two [[Yurka-class minesweeper]]s in 1981–82.<ref name=NRC>{{cite web|url=http://www.ghana.gov.gh/NRC/Vol%204%20Chpt%201%20com.sec.rep.pdf |title=The Security Services |access-date=2007-06-11 |date=October 2004 |pages=3 & 4 |work=National Reconciliation Commission Report Volume 4 Chapter 1 |publisher=Ghana government |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20061016012351/http://www.ghana.gov.gh/NRC/Vol%204%20Chpt%201%20com.sec.rep.pdf |archive-date=October 16, 2006 }}</ref> In 1965, a [[frigate]] was ordered by the government of President Nkrumah, intended to also serve as the [[presidential yacht]]. The warship was laid down by [[Yarrow Shipbuilders]] in [[Scotland]] under the name ''Black Star'', but when Nkrumah was deposed in a coup in the following year, the project was cancelled. The ship was eventually bought by the Royal Navy, commissioned as HMS MERMAID, and then sold to [[Malaysia]] as the {{ship|KD|Hang Tuah}}.<ref>{{cite book |last=Marriott |first=Leo |date=1990 |title=Royal Navy Frigates since 1945, Second Edition |location=London |publisher=Ian Allan Ltd |page=102 |isbn= 0-7110-1915-0 }}</ref>

==Future plans==

The [[Minister for Defence (Ghana)|Ghanaian Defence Minister]], Lieutenant General [[Joseph Henry Smith|J. H. Smith]], announced in June 2010 that over 10 ships would be acquired as part of a short-term plan to re-equip the navy, and defend Ghana's [[exclusive economic zone]].
