Photographs of The Sultan’s Forces 1974 – 76
Navy and Coast

‘Summary and Thumbnail photographic links’

In 1974 the Navy was being modernised and expanded but these photographs only relate to what were traditional coastal vessels and places. Dhows Charlie 2 and 3 played a significant role by denying enemy sea borne traffic and gave support to SAF Dhofar coastal land operations before being ‘retired’ in 1975.
