Fast attack craft
The Achimota class are a series of two fast attack craft in service in the Ghana Navy. They are based on the same Lürssen PB 57 design as the Turkish Yıldız class. The two ships of the class include Achimota (the flagship of the Ghana Navy) and Yogaga. The two vessels were acquired by Ghana in the late 1970s and commissioned in 1981. The Achimota class is equipped with an OTO Melara 76-millimetre (3 in) dual-purpose gun, and a 40 mm (1.6 in) anti-aircraft gun. They are primarily used for fishery protection duties.
