PNS Nasr (A47) is a Type 905 replenishment oiler of the Pakistan Navy. The oiler was constructed in the People's Republic of China by the Dalian Shipbuilding Industry Company and entered service in 1987.[1][4]

History

[edit]

Nasr was ordered by Pakistan in late-1986 and completed to Pakistani requirements.[5] She entered service in 1987.[3]

APhalanx CIWS was installed in 1995;[4] it may have come from the retired County-class destroyer PNS Babur.[2]

On 21 October 1998, the oiler suffered minor damage from being rammed by the commercial tanker Sun MarsatatKarachi.[2]

In April 2003, Nasr and PNS Babur deployed to the Port of ChittagonginBangladesh to support the Bangladeshi Navy.[6] In 2006, she visited LangkawiinMalaysia before reporting back her homeport.[7]

She provided relief to the Maldives after the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami, and was the first foreign contingent to start rescue operations there.[8]

Nasr participated in the 2014 Kakadu military exercise in Australia. A crewman deserted on September 7 at around 04:30 while the ship was docked at Darwin; he was found on September 8.[9]

In 2017, Nasr paid a goodwill visit, along with PNS Khaibar, to Sri Lanka, harbouring at the Port of Colombo to support the activities of Sri Lankan Navy.[8]

In 2018, Nasr and Khaibar, under the command of Commodore Javaid Iqbal, paid a goodwill visit to Tanzania, Mauritius, and Kenya to support their navies activities.[10]

In 2021, Nasr under the command of Capt Misbah ul Amin TI(M) conducted a disaster relief mission in Africa, sailing to Port Sudan, Djibouti,[11] and Cotonou,[12] and delivering 1,000 tonnes of rice as humanitarian aid from Pakistan to Djibouti, Sudan, Benin and Niger.[13] It also conducted a goodwill visit to Mombasa, Kenya.[13]
