BE AMONGST THE FIRST PEOPLE TO SIGN THEIR NAME ON THE MEMORIAL WALL FOR HMS AMBUSCADE/PNS TARIQ.
Welcome to our "A New Beginning" Initiative
We’re thrilled to introduce you to our “A New Beginning” initiative! With the signing of the agreement for the return of HMS Ambuscade/PNS Tariq to the UK, your support is crucial.
Our goal is to bring back the sole surviving Amazon class, Type 21 frigate to the United Kingdom. Although in good condition she will undergo minimal restoration and be repurposed into a unique venue for public exhibition, educational programs, cultural events, and community engagements. Your generous contributions will play a pivotal role in realising this vision.
Over the past several months, we’ve been diligently working to secure the best deal from global lift ship operators to cover the costs of bringing the ship back to the UK. The estimated cost for this operation is approximately £1.5 million for the journey from Karachi to the Clyde. In order to meet this initial cost as well as ongoing expenses, we have devised two primary fundraising programs, inviting both public and commercial partners to join us in supporting this campaign.
For a £25 donation you will be recognised with a name placed on our Wall Of Honour.
