The Pakistan Navy has launched a new gunboat called PNS SAHIWAL, which has been designed. And built in the country to strengthen Pakistan’s maritime defense. The launching ceremony was held at Karachi Shipyard and Engineering Works (KS\&EW) on July 25, 2025. And was attended by senior naval officials, including Vice Chief of Naval Staff Admiral Ovais Ahmed Bilgrami.
PNS SAHIWAL is being built with the help of the Platform Design Wing (PDW) of the Navy and features advanced long-range semi-automatic weapons. These modern weapons will help the gunboat perform better in sea operations, including patrols and security missions.
Speaking at the event, Admiral Bilgrami appreciated the hard work of both the PDW and KS\&EW teams. He said the launch of PNS SAHIWAL is a big step towards making Pakistan self-reliant in defense production. He also said the vessel is capable of handling many different tasks at sea, making it a valuable addition to the Navy’s fleet.
The Navy further announced that it may build more gunboats of this kind in the future. This move will not only increase Pakistan’s defense strength but also support the local shipbuilding industry and create more jobs. The project reflects Pakistan’s growing ability to design and manufacture modern naval vessels on its own.
The successful launch of PNS SAHIWAL marks an important achievement for the Pakistan Navy and shows its commitment to building advanced defense systems within the country.
