The Lewis B. Puller-class expeditionary sea base USS Hershel \u201cWoody\u201d Williams arrived in Walvis Bay, Namibia on September 3 for a scheduled port visit. The USS Hershel \u201cWoody\u201d Williams is the first U.S. Navy vessel to be assigned to the United States Africa Command area of responsibility.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Charg\u00e9 d\u2019Affaires of the United States Embassy, Ms. Jessica Long, welcomed the ship to port alongside a senior leader delegation from U.S. Africa Command. Namibian government and military leaders as well as members from civil society and the international community then came aboard the ship for a tour of its operations. The USS Hershel \u201cWoody\u201d Williams last visited Walvis Bay from September 16-18, 2021, when the crew conducted exchanges and participated in joint training with the Namibian Navy.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cFollowing our last visit to Walvis Bay in 2021, we hoped to continue fostering relationships with our Namibian counterparts,\u201d said Captain Chad Graham, commanding officer of the USS Hershel \u201cWoody\u201d Williams. \u201cWe are thrilled to be returning less than a year later, continuing to engage with our partners here and promote security in the region through a consistent maritime presence.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The United States works with partners to enhance regional security and stability through maritime security cooperation. The United States and Namibia share a rich bilateral security relationship that dates back to Namibian Independence. Together, the two countries work to ensure security, safety, and freedom of navigation in the Atlantic.\u00a0 Both the United States and Namibia recognize that the future security of these waters is critical for Africa\u2019s prosperity and continued access to global markets.<\/p>\n

Earlier in 2022, Namibia participated in Exercise Obangame Express, the largest annual maritime security exercise in Western Africa, alongside neighbors like Angola and other partners such as Brazil. These exercises play a central role in not only strengthening bilateral partnerships, but also allowing partners to work more closely to address the region\u2019s most pressing transnational maritime challenges. \u201cThe deployment of the Namibian Navy\u2019s largest vessel, the NS Elephant, in support of Exercise Obangame Express 2022, illustrates not only the willingness of Namibia to partner in this domain, but also its commitment to assume a leadership role, serving as an example to other partners throughout the region. The United Sates Navy takes great pride in its partnership with the Namibian Navy and looks forward to expanding this partnership in the years to come,\u201d said Lieutenant Colonel William Lange, Senior Defense Official and Defense Attach\u00e9 to the U.S. Embassy in Namibia.<\/p>\n

The expeditionary sea base-class vessels of the U.S. Navy provide critical access infrastructure that facilitates the deployment of forces and supplies to support a multitude of missions ranging from humanitarian and medical relief to joint anti-piracy operations.<\/p>\n
