ISLAMABAD: Admiral Asif Sandila handing over the command scroll of the Pakistan Navy to Admiral Zakaullah.—Online
ISLAMABAD: Admiral Muhammad Zakaullah was sworn in as Chief of the Naval Staff at a change-of-command ceremony held at the PNS Zafar Naval Complex here on Tuesday.

According to a press release issued by Director General of Public Relations, Pakistan Navy, Admiral Zakaullah on the occasion pledged to ensure that Pakistan Navy continue to maintain the highest level of operational preparedness to defend sea frontiers and safeguard maritime interests of the country.

The naval chief said that contemporary security environment was complex, challenging and evolving as national security was predicated on economic security which in turn was intrinsically dependent on maritime security.

He stressed the need for attaining the highest standard of professional excellence and working with dedication and demonstrating courage in the face of all odds and challenges.

“My top priority will be to maintain operational readiness and to further enhance operational capabilities of the Pakistan Navy,” he said.

The PN chief said that there was tremendous potential, abundant will, inspiring energy level and great resolve in officers, men and women serving the Pakistan Navy.

He called upon the naval staff to be professionally competent and morally upright and ethically impregnable to fulfil national responsibilities.

He said regional environment and present security situation demanded extra vigilance and concerted efforts by all concerned.

He pledged to continue playing effective role at regional and international levels as per government’s policies and in accordance with the national interests. “I will seek to achieve synergy and seamless integration with other services in all important operational and other inter-services matters.”

In his farewell address, the outgoing chief Admiral Asif Sandila said that Pakistan Navy’s developmental strategy over the past three years was aimed at creating a balanced and effective force to manifest various concepts of employment strategy to keep itself abreast with latest technological advancements and fluctuating threat spectrum.

Earlier, on their arrival at the venue, the outgoing and newly-appointed naval chiefs were presented a guard of honour.

Later, Admiral Sandila formally handed over the command of the Pakistan Navy by presenting the traditional scroll to Admiral Zakaullah.

so the perry thread is closed...
this from DID website on PNS Alamgir

"Those changes leave just torpedoes and a 76mm naval gun for offense, and the 20mm Phalanx CIWS as the ships’ main defensive weapon. In Pakistan’s case, fixed RGM-84 Harpoon missile launchers have been added, to give the ships naval combat capabilities.

Further reports indicate that McInerney’s refurbishments are aimed at mechanical remediation and improving its anti-submarine capability only, making the term “guided missile frigate” something of a misnomer for Pakistan’s new ships. Unless Pakistan undertakes additional approved work, its Alamgir Class will be anti-submarine frigates only, their weaponry outclassed by Pakistan’s new Chinese F-22P/ Zulfiquar Class multi-role frigates, and even its older British Type 21/ Tariq Class ships."

IMHO useless....

its a good idea...

 

[Imran Khan]

its a good idea...

i visit them sir they were in good condition only ships were old but i have close look pf CWICS and missiles main gun everthing was perfect

 

[nomi007]

thanks to musharaf who gave us f-22p ships
we could add 5-6 more ships f-22p class in last 5 years
but fail

 

[Arsalan]

Spending anything more on the ONLY OHP frigates wont b a good idea. They are not something that can be considered a major boost in our Naval Force so why spend anymore on it. These are decades old boats. Only if we can equip it with some extra fire power from Type-21 in-house, that wont involve lots of money spending that it is OK. Still, the only use is see for them is that PN commit this (originally i though we will get at least two or three) in the international anti-piracy efforts. This will keep our presence on that that platform, also the boat is equipped to fight off pirates (not war). Using our OHP there will keep our presence in the international forces to maintain peace in international sea and will leave the better equipped F-22 and any future induction for actual defense duties and to safe guard our own sea and shore line.

better off buying 4 more F-22P's with upgrades and improvements.

exactly. that will sort out our surface fleet issues to some extent. If PN can get improved F22p as you said, probably with better air defense suite that will be great. I don't see us getting dedicated Air defense Destroyers anytime soon so better equipped F-22p will do for now.

We can then focus on submarine fleet!

note the Rolex.!!!

Wonder who gave him that?

Or

Him

Or maybe a certain firm got a procurement or development contract that it should not have?

 

[Jango]

@Oscar...abhi say to nhn yar, and I don't think navy would have had much interest for Malik Riaz.

THe Corps Commander Karachi on the other hand is an altogether different story.

THe story goes that Malik Riaz was ready to invest in him, but Zardari told him to wait for the new CC to come and then play some games.

Point being, the brass is corruptible and sells out for commission. What makes us so sure they wont sell out as moles?
