This ship is part of Damen’s Offshore Patrol Vessels (OPV) 2600 series of games that are made for the Navy of Pakistan.

The Admiral awarded Damen high praise at the moment and was especially happy with how swiftly it created the PNS Hunain.
The value of this ship’s participation was highlighted by the commander as well. The security of the region and the safety of commerce channels in the Indian Ocean are further at risk, he said, thus it’s not only just displaying off military power.
The director of operations at Damen, Marc van Heyningen, showed pleasure. He expressed gratitude to the Admiral for being able to attend at the event and pointed out Damen’s longtime collaboration with the Pakistan Navy.
Local Sales Director for Damen, Stephan Stout, stated his joy and remarked all those engaged in the launching of this ship should be proud of themselves.
