ISLAMABAD: Chief of Naval Staff, Admiral Muhammad Amjad Khan Niazi said Pakistan Navy celebrated 8th September as Navy Day to pay tributes to sacrifices of its officers and Men who demonstrated self-belief, grit-n-guile and absolute faith in Allah SWT to venture into enemy waters and bombarded coastal town of Dwarka.

In his message on Navy Day, Naval Chief said that on this day, we acknowledge sacrifices of our Shuhadas and Ghazis and honour their bravado and valiant spirit which lifted morale of nation against sinister enemy during 1965 War, a Pakistan Navy (PN) news release said.

During Operation Dwarka, codenamed 'Operation SOMNATH', Pakistan Navy's seven major warships proceeded on an audacious mission inside enemy territory and destroyed significant shore installations including Indian radar station and radio beacon at Dwarka.

PN Flotilla's attack took enemy by surprise and dealt severe blow to morale of Indian Navy that not only rattled its defences but paralysed its response.

Furthermore, PN Submarine GHAZI posed an ominous threat to Indian Navy severely restricting its operations and confining it close to coast. Pakistan Navy besides ensuring own maritime defence also maintains round clock presence in international waters and engages with regional navies to foster interoperability and promotes maritime security at high seas.
