Pakistan and Italian Navies Collaborate in Rare Joint Sailing Exercise

Islamabad: Pakistan Navy’s Sail Training Ship RAH NAWARD has successfully conducted joint sailing operations with the Italian Navy Ship AMERIGO VESPUCCI in the Gulf of Oman. This exercise was part of RAH NAWARD’s overseas deployment to Oman, aimed at fostering goodwill and providing practical training for cadets from the Pakistan Naval Academy.

According to a statement by Pakistan Navy, the collaborative exercise afforded cadets valuable opportunities to enhance their skills in joint sailing operations. While international tall ship regattas are common, such coordinated maneuvers between tall ships are rare. The planning and execution of this exercise, conducted while both ships were on their respective national tasking, exemplifies the level of coordination and professionalism shared between the two navies.

The joint sailing operations provided a learning platform for cadets and showcased distinct sailing techniques of two iconic tall ships from different regions. This interaction underscores the collaboration and growing interoperability between the Pakistan Navy and global naval forces.
