The first training ship of the Pakistan Navy (PN), PNS Rah Naward, acquired from the United Kingdom, has arrived at the Karachi Port and soon it would be formally inducted into fleet of the PN.
A spokesman for Pakistan Navy told The News on Thursday that it was the first time that the PN had acquired an exclusive training ship for the benefit of its under-training cadets and midshipmen. He said the formal induction of the PNS Rah Naward, formerly the Prince William, in the fleet of Pakistan Navy, would take place towards end of the current month.
The ship set sail from the UK in October this year and reached the Karachi Harbour on December 6. In between the ship made goodwill stopovers in France and ports of several other countries.
The Ship was handed over to Pakistan Navy as its first-ever training vessel on September 20, in Hull, England. The High Commissioner for Pakistan to the UK, Wajid Shamsul Hasan, and Deputy-Chief of Naval Staff (Training and Personal) were guests of honour at the ceremony held at the Port of Hull.
