PNS Shamsheer and PNS Nasr visit Qingdao, China

God.. ive been all over the Nasr.. Still an old hulk.
i remember the Vip Cabin had a canopy bed with Pink sheets and gold braid.
 
.
i visited PNS zulfiqar , PNS jurrat, PNS quwwat a couple of months back in Oman, PNS hamza was also there but no access.
 
.
Are the railings of rope around the perimetre of the ship placed there during active duty?

Love the tail rotor....stealthy.

That type of tail rotor is called a fenestron :

It was originally conceived by Sud Aviation (now Eurocopter, part of the European Aeronautic Defence and Space Company (EADS)).[1]

While conventional tail rotors typically have two or four blades, Fenestrons have between eight and 18 blades. These may have variable angular spacing, so that the noise is distributed over different frequencies and thus sounds quieter. The housing allows a higher rotational speed than a conventional rotor, allowing it to have smaller blades.

The term Fenestron is a trademark of Eurocopter

The Fenestron can be found on many Eurocopter helicopters

ADVANTAGES
AdvantagesIncreased safety for people on the ground. The smaller size allows it to be higher above people or objects on the ground, and the enclosure provides peripheral protection;
Less susceptible to foreign object damage. The higher ground clearance and the enclosure also makes it less likely to strike foreign objects or to suck in loose objects such as small rocks;
Greatly reduced noise and vibration, due to the enclosure of the blade tips and the greater number of blades;
Enhanced anti-torque control efficiency;
Reduced power demand in forward flight

To the extent this can be called 'stealthy' this mainly would relate to NOISE (not to radar reflectivity)

Had the privilege to see F-22 from inside, remarkable and clean, highly digitized control room and cabins. Considering the mediocre digitization in Type-21s, it was a pleasure to see

Type 21's are late 60's early 70's technology platforms while the F22 are late 90's early 20's time frame when digitization is in full swing. I think the comparison is slightly unfair since there is a technology gap of roughly 30 years!!!!

Yeah, there were more pictures taken inside the bridge/control room of PNS Shamsheer
