Pak Navy did not remain passive in the Indo-Pak war of 1965.
It was already ready to safeguard its sea-frontiers from Indian attack. The
ambitious Pak Navy sent its submarine to observe the situation and then attacked
Dwarka on the 7th of September in the darkness of night.
Pak Navy was in confrontation with the Indian force for the first time.Pakistan Navy was there with its Seven Ships; PNS Badar, PNS Alamgir, PNS Shah Jahan, PNS Tipu, PNS Babur, PNS Jahangir and PNS Khyber. Their attack aimed to draw a heavy army from Bombay to attack the submarine so that their attention from other sides could be weakened. Secondly, they wanted to destroy the radar which was installed in Dwarka. They also aimed to down the morale of Indians and to divert their Air force operation in the North. Pakistani marines reached there and heavily attacked at the hour of 00:24 from the distance of 5.5 to 6.3 miles from Dwarka light. That moment was horrible and terrified the Indian. They did not come out from their harbor even they were having their aircraft carrier as well.
Pak Navy took the advantage and bombarded them and destroyed the Indian naval fortress of Dwarka known as Operation Dwarka. Pak Navy took just four minutes to complete its bombardment firing altogether 350 rounds on the target. And there was no resistance from the enemy so the ships returned safely and reached their patrol by 06:35 on the 8th of September.
This shows the capabilities of Pakistan’s armed forces. They can resist each power that aims to destruct the land of Pakistan. They have always proved themselves to be the safeguards and protectors of our boundary lines whether it is at the top of mountains or the bottom of the sea. They are the guards of air boundary lines as well.
All the armed forces are the pride of Pakistan. They are
always ready to sacrifice their beings for it. These lines define their level
of defense:
“Mere Watan Mere Bas
Main Ho To
Teri Hifazat Karon
Main Aise
Khizan Se Tuj Ko
Bacha Ke Rakhon
Bahar Tuj Pe Nisar Kar Dun”
