On the night of September 7th and 8th, 1965, a Flotilla consisting of seven ships from the Pakistan Navy conducted a successful operation codenamed ‘SOMNATH,’ bombarding the Indian port of Dwarka. This operation caught the Indian Navy off guard, delivering a significant blow to its morale, disrupting its defenses, and limiting its operations near the coast. Additionally, the presence of the PN Submarine GHAZI posed a substantial threat to the Indian Navy.
