DAUNTLESS in Ghana – The Type 45 Destroyer DAUNTLESS continues the ship’s African odyssey en route to the South Atlantic, with an eight day visit to Ghana.    The ship visited the Ghanaian port of Sekondi (the port for Takoradi) before moving on to the capital Accra.    The DAULTLESS was supporting the ongoing fight against piracy and criminal activity on the high seas.    One of the destroyer’s sea boat teams briefed the Ghanaian military personnel on the Pacific 24 RIB, used for boarding operations, making an impressive “Thunderbird” style launching.  In Sekondi the embarked Royal Marines provided training for Ghanaian Naval personnel focussing on the maritime security aspects of naval operations.   The DAUNTLESS will continue on to the South Atlantic before returning “home” at the end of October 2012.
