HMIS Malwa (J55)

HMIS Malwa (J55) was a Bangor class minesweeper which served in the Royal Indian Navy (RIN) during World War II. She was transferred to Pakistan in 1948 after the Partition of India and eventually renamed PNS Peshawar.

History
HMIS Malwa was ordered in 1942, and built by Garden Reach Shipbuilders & Engineers in India for the Royal Navy. She was commissioned in 1945, just months before the end of World War II.

Malwa was a part of the Eastern Fleet, and escorted a few convoys before the end of the war.

After the Independence of India and the subsequent partition, she was among the vessels transferred to Pakistan.
