Pakistan Navy has expanded a lot. Multiple ships have been inducted in recent time and many are about to be delivered to PN. In my understanding it is time to order rescue ship. The role of rescue ship is to save crew of submarines ship that have sunk. It can provide life support and can retrieve crew from a sunken submarine or ship. Plus with CPEC will bring a lot of Maritime traffic to the area and accidents happen so we require rescue ship for civilian traffic as well. Turkey MOSHIP is a good vessel it has submerged rescue capability of 600 meters. Similar ships are also available with China but currently Turkey is leader in rescue ship market.

It also can detect submerged ships and vessels.

Do we have any sufficient funds and is there any interest from PN?

India has recently bought a dsrv vehicle from UK which can dive up to 650meters, before that they had a aggrement with USA for submarine rescue, wonder what options PN has @Rashid Mahmood might be able to shed some light on this matter.

There was Pakistani Sea King helicopter crash in the past which was recovered by Turkey so I think Pakistan has an agreement with Turkey.

As far as I know, We dont have an official ''agreement'' about that which it is not even necessary anyway... Pakistan asked for help, we helped... If another recovery become necessary (I hope It wont) we will help again.

But of course Turkey And Pakistan arent close geographically... so It takes time Before we arrive so if Pakistan get that capacity herself it will be much better for rescue. Time is so important for rescue missions.

Turkey has 2 bases close to Pakistan one in Qatar and other in Africa. So agreement with Turkey makes sense but with naval fleet growing Pakistan should order one as ship is also good at other roles than just rescue. Ship can conduct deep sea surveillance as well.

Yes we have bases but I dont think a Turkish rescue ship would stay in qatar or somalia, if there is no need for that that kind of ships would stay in Turkey. And came from Turkey to Pakistan if some thing bad happen. But of course it will take time. I agree, Pakistan navy is growing so you need this kind of capacity too.

With an aim to accentuate the significance of Clean Air and to promote awareness for protection and preservation of the environment, Pakistan Navy observed World Environment Day with full enthusiasm.

World Environment Day is observed internationally on 05 June every year under the auspices of United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP). The purpose of the day is to bring worldwide focus on importance of clean environment and stimulate attention and actions for its preservation focusing on a specific aspect of environment every year under a certain theme.
The theme selected for this year’s World Environment Day is ‘Air Pollution’ which is a major source of concern for mankind. Air borne pollutants are responsible for about one third of deaths from strokes, chronic respiratory diseases and lungs cancer as well as one quarter of deaths from heart attacks.
Pakistan Navy also observes World Environment Day regularly. To mark importance of the day, numerous activities are arranged by Pakistan Navy to highlight significance of environment and promote awareness amongst public, concerned agencies and departments. The aim of these activities is to come together and explore renewable energy alternatives and application of green technologies to keep our atmosphere clean and to improve the quality of air that we breathe. These activities include Tree Plantation and Beach Cleaning Campaigns, Environment Awareness Walks, Lectures & Seminars on significance of the day and Social Media Campaigns. Such events play a pivotal role in enhancing awareness about importance of environment amongst the general populace.
Chief of the Naval Staff in his message on the day, reaffirmed Pakistan Navy’s commitment to ensure a cleaner and safer environment especially against air pollution which directly affects our quality of life. Naval Chief emphasized that our conduct in all walks of life should be in line with the principles for conservation of environment. Admiral Zafar Mahmood Abbasi further reiterated that Pakistan Navy will continue to play its due role in this noble cause

has anyone else experience such a procurement by the Pakistan navy as we are seeing now?

we can't really complain, times are good right now

those Chinese SSK will give PN submarine launched cruise missile capability

and the Type 054AP will give us VLS, more importantly air defence from the sea

also if they are modified to carry land attack cruise missiles a very powerful thing

the 2 x OPV and 4 x 600-ton cutters and 2 x 1500-ton cutters and Azmat Class are all eggs in the basket

In my opinion Ada class is waste of time and money

We should have gone for the Istanbul clsss which is under construction now
