PNS Ghazi (SS 479) was a United States-built submarine that was leased by Pakistan in 1963. It operated in the 1965 and 1971 wars between India and Pakistan and was Pakistan's first submarine and remained the flagship submarine for Pakistan Navy unl it sank in 1971. It sank off the fairway buoy of Vizag near eastern coast of India during the 1971 war.

The submarine sailed 3,000 miles
