PAKISTAN NAVY CELEBRATES 53RD HANGOR DAY

Pakistan Navy celebrated 53rd HANGOR Day, a tribute to the unrivaled courage and steadfast commitment of Submarine HANGOR and to honour the veterans of 1971 war. The remarkable naval action occurred a few miles southeast of ‘Diu Head’ on West Coast of India. This event holds a distinguished place in naval history as the first successful submarine kill since World War II.

To commemorate 53 years since the sinking of Indian Navy Ship KHUKRI, an impressive ceremony was organized by Pakistan Navy at PN Dockyard Auditorium, hosted by Commander Pakistan Fleet. The former Executive Officer of the valiant HANGOR, Vice Admiral Abaid Ullah Khan (Retd), graced the occasion as Chief Guest.

Addressing the ceremony, Commander Pakistan Fleet emphasized that Pakistan Navy remains ever-ready to respond to any threat or adventurism by adversaries. He highlighted that HANGOR‘s valour during the 1971 war is a source of immense pride for the Navy. The action was not only a brilliantly executed tactical battle but also a strategic strike that effectively neutralized India’s hegemonic ambitions.

The sinking of INS KHUKRI crippled the morale and will of Indian Navy to continue engaging in the conflict. This achievement stands as a testament to the sacrifices and untiring efforts of Pakistan Navy’s veterans, who have played a pivotal role in transforming it into a formidable force.

The valiant hero of the operation, Vice Admiral Ahmad Tasnim (Retd), who commanded HANGOR in 1971, remains one of the most decorated officers of Pakistan Navy. In his video message, he praised the efforts of his entire team, whose contributions were instrumental in achieving the objective.

Every officer and sailor of Pakistan Navy takes immense pride in the heroes of HANGOR, who carried forward the legacy of Operation Dwarka and demonstrated how to effectively target an adversary in its own waters.
