The Ghana Navy has commemorated its 11th Memorial Day with a solemn ceremony at the Naval Headquarters in Sekondi-Takoradi, paying tribute to personnel who lost their lives in the line of duty.
Observed annually on 14 September, the occasion honours the sacrifice of fallen sailors and provides a moment of reflection on the Navy’s enduring contribution to national security and international peacekeeping.
This year’s commemoration also marked the 35th anniversary of the tragic bombing of the Ghana Navy Ship Yogaga during the Economic Community of West African States Monitoring Group (ECOMOG) operations in Liberia — a moment etched in the institution’s collective memory.
Vice President Professor Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang graced the ceremony as the guest of honour, laying a wreath in honour of the fallen heroes.
The event, held under the theme “Sacrifice, Service and Sovereignty: the Legacy of the Ghana Navy”, underscored the force’s role in safeguarding Ghana’s maritime domain while contributing to regional stability and global peace efforts.
