PNS Muhafiz was an Adjutant-class minesweeper of the Pakistan Navy.[2] It was built by the United States for transfer to Pakistan.[2] PNS Muhafiz was sunk by a missile from INS Veer of the Indian Navy during the Indo-Pakistani War of 1971.[1][2]
PNS Zulfiqar (K265) of Pakistan was also damaged beyond repair by friendly fire from aircraft of the Pakistan Air Force (PAF) which mistook her for a missile boat of the Indian Navy during the same war.[3] India also lost INS Khukri in this war.[4][5]
