Unfortuntaely it is true that PN is still using a yahoo domain. Here is the email for Director Public Relations (DPR) at Naval HQ in Islamabad, Captain Asif Mujeed Butt is dpr_navy@yahoo.com & dpr_navy@hotmail.com. Don't be surprised if you don't get an answer when you email or fax. The latter...

Hello, Merely wish to point out some facts here for everyones benefit. SSGN and Marines are two separate units within PN. They have no overlap in their operational responsibilities at all. SSGN were conceived and setup in 1967. The Marines were created in 1970 as a precursor to the looming...

Hello, MSA is a directorate of Pakistan and is responsible for the EEZ. Both officers and men are seconded from PN to MSA. Coast guard is usually manned by army personnel and is only responsible for coastal dutities. Marines are essentially Naval infantry (pls see following post...

Hey, please. No apologies as no offence. Sorry if thats how it came across as it was never intended. All I meant to convey was that you'll be surprised as to how much information is readily available from manufacturers/suppliers if it is requested from them. They may not have the exact piece of...

C5's have flown into Mehran/Faisal on at least 4 occasions in the past two years in support of US SEALs who were in training with SSGN. SEALS brought their own equipment including surface craft by air and this was then transported by road to Dockyard. These flights were around the same time as...

Yes fatman very sure and unfortunately true. One of the Lynx has been grounded permanently owing to an accident and although repairable, the cost quoted by Wesstland Helicopters has sealed its fate - at least for PN service. When the T-21 FFG's were acquired during 1994-1996 for a unit cost of...

I may have mis-interpreted the comment made in your post when you said, ''Z-9C bought 2 replace Seaking''. So apologies in advance of that is the case. Z-9C helos are not being bought by PN to replace Sea Kings. Z-9 will be for ship based use from the F-22PFFG's, although they can be...

P-3 aircraft 81 and 82 originally delivered in 1996/97, were brought back into service recently. However the were not modified in any way. The aim of the flight restoration programme was to maintain the structural integrity of the aircraft and strictly no equipment upgrade. Aircraft 84 and 85...

Thanks 23rd March for the vote of confidence. However time constraints prevent any more involvement than what I have been currently been able to manage and I have certainley tried to maintain only accurate and pertinant information which I hope would benefit the user community at large. I do...

Hi Folks, Do any of you have any old pics of SSGN from the eralier years? I have exhausted my search and have drawn a complete blank. I am looking for anything to do SSGN from 1967 onwards, especially the period uptill 1980. Before any of you suggest, I have already been through the process of...

Hi again, Following my earlier you msg, it seems that the pic in question has been removed. My earlier question was not intended to cause concern or inconvenience you. I merely asked as it s one of my pictures and would like to see where its been published, just so I can take some pride in it...

PNS Ghazi was sunk due to an onboard explosion whilst it was deployed on a mine laying mission. The general view from Pakistan is that these mines were recently acquired from France, had been rushed into service just days prior to the Ghazi sailing and thereby bringing to mind the suggestion...

The SX-756 submarines were the first of a new design by Cosmos of Livorno. The first 3 craft were sold to Pakistan in kit form and arrived in Karachi in 1988. When the deal for the submarines was signed, it was no coincidence that Adm Tariq Kamal Khan was CNS. As a former SSGN and first CO of...

Hi, Just came across your poster. Nice work, keep it up. I was aowndering of you could help me identify the source for one of your pics, ie where was it printed eg magazine, poster etc. I am interested in the picture showing the two navy divers armed with AUG surfacing from the water. Any help...

The AFM September issue is on sale. Don't know when exactly it went on sale but seems on 11 August as confirmed by the shop assistant at W H Smith where I picked up a copy from yesterday in London, UK.

Is the P-3C acquisition the final MPA to be included within the PN NAA inventory you ask? That is not a question we could know the answer to at this point in time unfortunately. One can make a fair and intelligent assumption as to that being the case based on the information available today...

Currently PN is not considering the P-8A for the inventory in view of the fact that they will be taking in P-3's over the course of the next few years. Whilst Boeing may well hold exploratory discussions with perspective clients incluidng PN, the P-3's being acquired by the latter are slated to...

Forgot to add to my earlier post. The P-3C manufactured for Pakistan in 1990 were amongst the last to roll-off the factory flightline. The were followed by 11 new build airframes for Republlic of Korea Air Force. Rgds:pakistan:
