Pakistan Navy on Saturday decommissioned one of its British origin frigates, PNS Zulfiquar. An ISPR (Navy) press release issued here said that a ceremony to pay homage to its exceptional and prolonged services was held at Pakistan Navy Dockyard this morning.
Vice Chief of Naval Staff, Vice Admiral Mohammad Haroon, who has also served as commanding officer of the ship, was the chief guest on the occasion. A large number of officers and men from Destroyer Squadron also attended the ceremony. Speaking on the occasion, the chief guest said despite phasing out of this frigate, the Destroyer Squadron of Pakistan Navy is capable of generating a forceful deterrence.
He said the procurement of F-22 P frigates from China in near future, would further add to the fighting punch of PN fleet. Admiral Haroon paid rich tribute to the services of Pakistan Navy Destroyer Squadron. He also acknowledged the approach and resolve of the government to make Pakistan Navy a strong maritime force well equipped with the modern-day platforms and weaponry.
PNS Zulfiquar, formerly a British frigate HMS Appollo, was commissioned in Pakistan Navy in October 1988. During its 18 years service, the ship remained a potent punch of Pakistan Navy Fleet.
