HISTORY
Pakistan Navy War College, like any other institution of higher learning, has
passed through an evolutionary process. Its nascent days started with
commissioning of Pakistan Navy Staff School, which was established at Manora island Karachi in
1968 the purpose of this school was to conduct junior Staff Courses and to teach elementary staff work
only. For regular
staff courses, however, officers were sent abroad. As the requirement of
staff course qualified officers increased with time, Pakistan Navy Staff College
was established in 1971, in a small building in PNS KARSAZ, Shahrae Faisal
Karachi. By 1995 the requirement of staff course qualified officers
gradually increased many folds and it became inevitable to shift to a proper
building. At this time, it was decided to shift the College to Lahore as
the main induction in the navy takes place from Punjab. Since the College
curriculum does not require its proximity to sea, it was decided to
relocate the College to Lahore, a seat of learning for centuries. A
building on the Mall Road was acquired, altered to meet the purpose and
inaugurated in August 1996 as PN War College. 25th PN
Staff Course commenced at Lahore in Aug 96. Since then, the College has
been conducting Staff Courses every year on regular basis.
