I have been informed that 2 Pakistani ships will be visiting Cork on or about the 22nd of june also(it'll be crowded up there).
PNS Tippu Sultan and Moawin will be visiting,with the smaller Amazon Class(HMS Avenger) frigate Tippu Sultan heading to Cork City Quays,while the larger Moawin goes to the deepwater berth at Ringaskiddy(which is normally closed to non business visitors,but the waste ground opposite provides a good photo op.
AO Moawin

Nice pics Inman, the guy in DPM's looks like an RM .I dont know if all ships still have an RM detachment. Maybe GF can look that up. M36 is she a minsweeper only or multi role. That pic of her stern is good shows the advances from the Bamba days/type. Is that a fishery patrol pennent she is flying? Oh and whats the name of that three master in the background ?Last edited by Gunner Who?; 10 June 2005, 22:42.

that AO Moawin looks very big. What are those derricks midships? Could it be a RFA type ship?
