by own means
on a wider
span .

dominating as economical
aspect due to
its vast availability . There are numerous
opportunities in the

of the background
of Maritime in
Pakistan , it has been
found to have established
on 14th August
1947 on the
independence day of
Pakistan . As the separation occurred
between India and
Pakistan , Armed Forces Reconstruction Committee (AFRC)
divided the Royal
Indian Navy between
India and Pakistan .
Under the
1956 constitution , the service
was re-assigned as
Pakistan Navy. Pakistan Navy
Jack and Pakistani
Flag were put to
charge . During the 1971
war with India
the Marines remained
inactive from their
service in 1974 . Commander Obaidullah re-established the
firm in 1990
from where it
stands presently .
Quaid at
the Naval Academy
on March 1948
and Quaid on-board
HMPS GODAWARI on
1947 quoted " Today

day for Pakistan , doubly so

us in the
Navy . The Dominion of
Pakistan has come
into being and
with it a
new Navy –
the Royal Pakistan
Navy – has
been born . I am
proud to have
been appointed to
command it and
serve with you

my duty and
yours to build
up our Navy

of Pakistan army . It
is followed by
Pakistan Navy which
is equipped of
highly trained personals
and vice versa . It
has more than
22,000 personnel and

would be regarded
among those countries
which are developing
under the particular
field of Marine
by leaps and
bounds .The share of
Pakistan Navy in Pakistan acquires
more than quarter
of its annual
budget.
While the
current atmosphere in
Pakistan has been
unhealthy and challenging , Pakistan Navy
avail the provision

trade factors since

scope to improvise

enhanced too .
Mentioning the acknowledgments of
Pakistan Navy , the Pakistan
Navy started off
with the AMAN
exercise being accompanied
by 39 more
countries in the
Arabian sea for
strengthening the security . This exercise
is practiced every
alternate year . It started
from 2007 , 2009 , 2011 with
the sole aim
and objective to
demolish rising threats of
terrorism . The Arabian Sea
is faced with
huge infiltration due
to its transportation means .
In addition
to the enhancing
regional corporation ,
Pakistani warship PNS
Azmat visited Sri
Lanka on May , 2012 . The PNS
Azmat is one
of the two
Azmat class FACs (
fast attack craft )
which the national
navy of Pakistan
had purchased from
China . Pakistan maintains friendly
relation with China
and demonstrate trade
effectively . During its long
journey from China to Karachi, the vessel had visited ports in friendly
nations such as Vietnam , Malaysia ,
and Indonesia before
reaching Sri Lanka . It
has been found
that Pakistan Navy warships visit
the Sri Lankan
ports overtimes . Pakistan and
Sri Lanka maintain close relations .
HMS Cornwall , which is
authorized under the
warship initiative of
the Middle East
met PNS Shahjahan
at the Arabian
Sea on February , 2012 . The two
battle ships interchanged
their equips and
skills in order

the future .
On July
19 , 2011 ; PNS Shamsheer and
PNS Nasr visited
Qingdao , China . The ships were
received by a
large group of
Peoples Liberation Army
(PLA) Navy officers ,
officials of the Pakistan Embassy
as well as
general public including
local school children
and media personnel . This visit
marked as the
celebration of 60th
anniversary of Pakistan-China friendly
relation . As a result , naval exercises
were also held .
An incident
also happened in
order to demotivate
Pakistan Navy . The attempt
was made by
the pirates in order
to hijack vessel
MV Suez . Governor Sindh , Mr.
Ishrat ul Ibad
and Mr Ansar
Burney in reference
with Ansar Burney

provision of $ 2.1 million
to avoid further
repulsion . PNS Babur got
in the right
track in order
to repel the
attempt . There were 22
crew members of
the Merchant Vessel
Suez , including eleven Egyptians , six Indians , four Pakistanis
and a Sri
Lankan who reached
Karachi dockyard safely . It
was also quoted
by Governor Sindh
that the pirates
had made at
least two attempts
to recapture MV

return journey , but the
attempts were foiled
by PNS Babur
personnel . Later , crew were exchanged
from PNS Babur

Pak-Turkish joint
Naval exercise were
carried out on

phases in which
four ships of
Turkish Maritime Task
Group and three
Pakistan Navy Ships
along with a
submarine took part.
Submarines also
fall under the category
of Pakistan Navy. A
modern conventional
submarine type , Agosta-90B built
under transfer of
technology from DCNI
of France . During this
program Engineers of
Pakistan Navy and
Karachi Shipyard obtained extensive training
in France for
construction of submarine .
Pakistan Navy should enhance
the trade of
Agosta class submarines
which the country
is capable of
producing by own
means efficiently.
Regional corporation
can play a
vital role in
the socio-economic development
and prosperity of
any nation , particularly Pakistan
since defense system
and trade in
Pakistan is considered
to be of
strongest impact .
During Indo-Pak
war in 1971 , Pakistan went
through severe hard
times . On 1 January
1974 , President of Pakistan Zulfiqar
Ali Bhutto nationalized
National Shipping Corporation
and Pakistan Shipping
Corporation and formed
Pakistan National Shipping
Corporation (PNSC) with high
goals to modify
Pakistan Merchant Navy .
In order
to cope up
with challenging circumstances during sea
ventures , Pakistan Marine Academy
was found and is
located at Karachi , Pakistan . It is
Governmental institution which
trains people to play
an effective role
being a part
of Merchant Navy .
In Pakistan , trade system
has evolved by
leaps and bounds. The
advancements in technologies ensure
trade to be
more secure . Merchant Navy
has been playing
a key factor
for Pakistan in
terms of trade . Merchant Navy is highly paid profession in the world due
to the fact
that one's life
is kept at
stake regardless of
dangers involved in
the sea in order
to impoverish trade . From
automobiles to house
hold goods , Pakistan Merchant
Navy does it all
.
Keeping in
view the past
joint projects of
Pakistan Navy , it is
hoped that future
holds great scope
in regard with prosperous strategic
bonding throughout the
region of Pakistan . Furthermore , awareness among
the students must
be encouraged such
to develop keen
knowledge succeeding in
this particular field
of maritime to
motivate individuals to
trade and manufacture
epic technologies . Hence wider platform
would emerge for
the regional corporation
in maritime field
at large .
It is
a bitter reality
and an accepted
truth that Pakistan
has been facing
a lot of threats
due to terrorism
and is struggling
hard to maintain
its stability and
prosperity now a days
. By putting an
end to anti-law
trade of weaponry
under strict action
of law , use of
ammunitions by wrong
hands could be
brought to minimal
ratio . With new means
of law abiding
trade system due to
regional corporation , it can
be stated that
the challenging intercity
problems would be
reduced .
A day
is near to
come when trade
would flourish and
Pakistan will regain
its lost glory
in regards of
strategic defense with
the help of
evolving youth under the
flag of Pakistan
Navy and Pakistan
Merchant Navy respectively .
