Pakistan Maritime Museum

Pakistan Maritime Museum combines retired naval vessels, submarine exhibits, artillery and aircraft in a public lakeside setting. Its open-air collection includes a French-built maritime patrol aircraft and a Westland helicopter, tying naval aviation directly to sea operations. The aviation component emphasizes the relationship between naval patrol, shipboard helicopter operations, unmanned aerial vehicles and maritime defense. The official museum’s open-air gallery expressly names the Atlantic aircraft, Lynx helicopter and Uqab UAV-II in the visitor collection. These are full-size outdoor aircraft rather than illustrations or small models of aviation history. The aircraft records are selected documented collection entries rather than a complete inventory. An aircraft may be temporarily away from the museum, held in storage, undergoing restoration, or represented by a replica or partial airframe. An unknown display status does not mean the aircraft can be seen during a visit. Confirm opening arrangements and specific aircraft access with the institution before traveling.
