		For those unaware of the submarine or its achievements, PNS Hangor holds the distinction to be the first post-WWII submarine to sink an enemy vessel by sinking an Indian frigate during the 1971.
		PNS Hangor would go on to provide service to the Navy for another 25 years, until it was decommissioned in a ceremony earlier this year.
		The PNS Hangor is an important piece of our nation's heritage, and being only one of two post-WWII submarines to have registered a kill post-WWII, is important to the history of global naval warfare as a whole.

	Save PNS Hangor - PakDef Forums
		PNS Hangor is therefore one area where Pakistan actually holds something of global significance in terms of maritime history and heritage.
		Furthermore failure to preserve at least one of the submarines smacks of a country that does not care for maritime issues, and is unconcerned with the sacrifices and achievements of its navy.
		I would request that at least PNS Hangor be spared the fate of other Daphne Class submarines and be preserved in a dry dock for general public at PN Museum Karachi, and if that is not possible then it should be placed somewhere in the harbour as a public attraction.

		PNS Ghazi was the largest sub in the PN in 1971, and it had one of the best crews of PN.

		And as he takes his formal and nostalgic walk inside her gutted and empty belly, he will no doubt marvel at how his six-foot body (he was the “Little John” of the submarine service) could have slept like a baby on those narrow bunks; nay, even call the place “home”.
		The Hangor however will be spared this ignominy; she will be cut in sections, transported by road and then reassembled in the Maritime Museum near PNS Karsaz.
		Hangor or example has steamed the equivalent of ten times round the world and submitted to about half a dozen major overhauls; her longest patrol lasted more than one month.
