Historic ship to be sent back to UK

APP Published May 30, 2023

ISLAMABAD: Pakis­tan is set to gift PNS Tariq, the historic lead ship of the surface command of the Pakis­tan Navy, to Britain as a goodwill gesture.

The ship would be han­ded over to Britain later this year, in July or August, and will be moored in Glas­gow, Scotland on the River Clyde as a museum piece.

Britain previously requ­ested one Amazon or Tariq-Class Type 21 Fighter Ship from Pakistan. Before joining the Pakistan Navy, the ship served in the Royal Navy and it was designated ‘HMS Ambuscade’ in 1975. Amazon-class frigates took part in the Falklands War between Britain and Arg­entina in 1982.
