Former Royal Navy Frigate Sunk In Live-Fire Exercise

The former HMS Active was split in two by missile fire during the Pakistan Navy drill earlier this month

A former Royal Navy frigate was sunk in spectacular fashion during a live-fire exercise off Pakistan, as Mail Online reports.

HMS Active was commissioned in 1977 and saw active duty in the Falklands War among other missions before being sold to Pakistan in 1994 and renamed the PNS Shah Jahan.

The Type 21 frigate went out in a hail of firepower earlier this month as one of a number of targets used in a drill by the Pakistan Navy in the North Arabian Sea.

Mail Online has more on the story HERE.
