Defence Headquarters, (RBDF): As the Royal Bahamas Defence Force continues to share in the spirit of giving and enforcing the Commander Defence Force, Commodore Raymond King’s strategic objective of strengthening relationships with stakeholders and the community at large as a socially corporate citizen, the Squadron Department recently donated essential items to the community. On Saturday 30th January 2021, the crew of Her Majesty’s Bahamian Ship LIGNUM VITAE, led by Commanding Officer Sub Lieutenant Miska Clarke, made donations of clothing items, shoes, and personal hygiene items to the Freetown Urban Renewal Center (FURC), St James Road.
