Thus, submarine technology in East Africa had developed relatively independently from the very beginning, while the development of surface warships was exactly the opposite: East Africa had always been the side playing catch-up.
Only in recent years had East Africa's shipbuilding framework begun to shake off its dependence on Europe, mainly thanks to East Africa's focused investment in the shipbuilding industry during the nineties.
In the nineties, after the South African War, East Africa acquired several important ports in the Angola Region on the West Coast. This completely shaped East Africa's two-ocean configuration. Correspondingly, the East African Central Government built large numbers of shipbuilding enterprises on both the West Coast and East Coast, forming an independent shipbuilding industry structure. Combined with over twenty years of accumulation during the sixties, seventies, and eighties, this allowed East Africa's shipbuilding industry to develop with relative maturity.
However, in the field of shipbuilding, East Africa could now only be considered a major power, not a true powerhouse. Britain still led the development of the world's shipbuilding industry. Germany's shipbuilding industry was also developing rather quickly, and because the German Navy had different priorities, it had become competitive with Britain in military shipbuilding.
As for the others, including East Africa, their shipbuilding industries were developing rapidly, especially in warships. But reaching British and German standards would still take a long time.
Kainmas said, "At present, our navy can only seek breakthroughs in technology. Unlike other nations, we cannot frantically expand our naval strength by building or importing warships in vast quantities. The Bagamoyo has proven that our naval warship construction has completely broken free of its technological dependence on Europe, and our surface vessel construction technology is already among the world's best," Hantonio said.
"Among them is Japan in the Far East, which proposed the
