are you sure?

Daphne / Hangor class
S131 PNS Hangor - completed 1970 - decommissioned 2006 (now placed in Pakistan Maritime Museum)
S132 PNS Shushuk - completed 1970 - decommissioned 2006
S133 PNS Mangro - completed 1970 - decommissioned 2006
S134 PNS Ghazi (ex Portuguese Cachalote) - acquired 1975 - decommissioned 2006

Agosta 70(B) / Hashmat class
PNS/M Hashmat (S135) - completed in 1979, originally named SAN Astrant
PNS/M Hurmat (S136) - completed in 1980, originally named SAN Adventurous

Agosta 90B / Khalid-class
PNS/M Khalid (S137) - built in France by DCN Cherbourg, completed in 1999
PNS/M Saad (S138) - built in Pakistan with French assistance, completed in 2002
PNS/M Hamza (S139) - built in Pakistan, commissioned 14 August 2006

I'm puzzled as to the status of the Hangor class boats:

Pakistan Navy does operate one of the most advanced diesel-powered submarines in the world, French Agosta-90B currently two in service while the last one is under sea trials and close to be operational. Other than that Pakistan operates two Agosta-70 class submarines and three midget class submarines.

Yes, but with a depth charge rather than lightweight ASW torpedo such as ET-52C, Mk46, etc ...!

PORT SUDAN - A Pakistani warship docked at Port-Sudan harbor in eastern Sudan on Thursday.

A ceremony and military parade have been organized by the Sudanese Navy in reception of the Pakistani warship. Sudanese army spokesman, Al-Sawarmy Khaalid Al-Sawarmy Khalid Saad, earlier announced that the Sudanese navy would receive a Pakistani warship on November 29, noting that the ship would stay at Port-Sudan harbor for two days.

He said that the Sudanese navy would also receive two Iranian warships on November 30, which would stay at Port-Sudan harbor for three days.

Saad explained that the arrival of the Pakistani and Iranian warships is under the framework of the maritime and military cooperation with the navy troops in all countries of the world.

Few weeks ago, two Iranian warships docked at Port-Sudan shortly after an aerial attack against Al-Yarmouk arms factory complex in the Sudanese capital Khartoum, which Israel claimed was producing arms to back the Palestinian Hamas movement with Iranian support.

Pakistan Navy vessels visit Cape Town


Written by Dean Wingrin

Monday, 10 December 2012 14:46



Two Pakistan Navy vessels have arrived in the naval port of Simon’s Town for a short port visit.

The destroyer PNS Tippu Sultan and the combat support ship PNS Nasr are visiting from 10 to 13 December 2012. Their entry into the port was slightly delayed by a strong South Easter wind blowing in False Bay.

The purpose of the ships’ visit is to maintain the Pakistan Navy’s international contact with the South African Navy and also to enhance bilateral relations between Pakistan and South Africa.

According to the South African Navy (SAN), the relationship between the two navies has been improving steadily and this visit to Simon’s Town by the Pakistan Navy ships presents an ideal opportunity to further strengthen the existing ties between the two navies. To further cement the closeness between Pakistan’s and South Africa’s navies, Chief of the Staff, Pakistan Navy, Admiral Mohammed Asif Sandila will also be visiting South Africa in the same timeframe.

The Pakistan Navy conducts anti-piracy patrols near the African coast. It has been part of the international Combined Task Force 151 (CTF-151) since January 2009 in an effort to combat piracy in the Gulf of Aden. The Pakistani Navy will shortly be taking over from the Turkish Navy as the Command of Combined Task Force 151.

Prior to arriving in South African waters, the two vessels visited the Seychelles, where discussions centred on the anti-piracy efforts in the region and the work of naval coalitions.

In a departure from the norm for foreign vessels berthed in Simon’s Town, the two ships will be open to the public from 3:00 PM to 5:00PM on Tuesday 11 December.
