PNS Badr (D-184) was the Tariq-class destroyer that served in the Surface Command of the Pakistan Navy from 1994 until being decommissioned from the service in 2014.
Before joining the Pakistan Navy, she was formerly designated as HMS Alacrity of the British Royal Navy as a general purpose frigate, and went through an extensive refit and midlife upgrade program by the KSEW Ltd. at the Naval Base Karachi to have mission status to be properly qualified as the destroyer.
