What happened
The Royal Navy gifted a warship to the Pakistan Navy in 2023. The Pakistan Navy gave Clyde Naval Heritage until September 30 to remove the vessel from Karachi. After the deadline passed, campaigners are making a final attempt to persuade Pakistani authorities to reconsider their decision.

Why it matters
The cost to transport the historic warship back to Scotland doubled to around £2 million due to escalating conflict in the Middle East. If the vessel is disposed of, it jeopardizes plans for the ship to become a museum.
