Updated at 1910 PST Tuesday, March 08, 2011

KARACHI: The five-day multinational naval exercise 'Aman-2011' was formally inaugurated by Commander Pakistan Fleet, Vice-Admiral Abbas Raza, on Tuesday.

The naval exercises will continue till March 12 in the Arabian Sea under the arrangements of Pakistan Navy.

"The exercise will enable all the participating countries to interact with each other on operational capabilities," he said addressing the inaugural ceremony at Dockyard. The exercise will focus on issues related to piracy, sea terrorism, human trafficking, protection to marine interests and international trade, he added.

"It will be our collective goal to provide conducive environment for sea trade and safeguard maritime interests," he said. He said presently the piracy was confined to sea off Somali region which may grow over the period and there was need to face this challenge jointly.

Admiral Abbas Raza further hoped that a feedback will be given by the participating countries on conclusion of the exercise. An exchange of information on exercise experience will pave way for improvement in this regard, he said.

Naval exercise

 

[S.U.R.B.]

Let's start with the new ones.

Was the flag hoisting ceremony & exercise briefing today. So no ships.

 

[GodlessBastard]

the exercise will see in action, the latest of the PN frigate fleet (F-22p) in action.

Frigates? You mean corvettes?

The displacement of the Indian Navy's Kamorta class corvettes is 500 tons greater than the displacement of the F-22 "frigates".

Well, at least you aren't calling them "destroyers" anymore


Good luck to the PN in this exercise.
