Over the last year I have been writing a book about the history of the Destroyer HMS Onslow, which, in 1947 became HPNS Tippu Sultan.
I have all the information I need on the Royal Navy service of the vessel, and also of her participation in the shelling of Dwarka in 1965, and about her conversion to a type 16 frigate in 1957, but am very short on information about the ships movements and activities during peacetime, for example I would be very greatfull if anyone could tell me which ships from other countries took part in operations Midlink 73 and Midlink 75. I would also appreciate any information on refits, including dates and places, and which types of radar and asdic/sonar were upgraded
I know that the ship was decommissioned in 1980, and became a base ship in Gwadar, renamed PNS Muhafiz, but can anybody tell me what happened to the ship after that, I presume that by now she has been scrapped, but would really like to know where, and when!
