I was serving on the Lynx at the time this photo was taken.

Glad you found it Stan,

I was searching for another ship, when finding this one. Awsome photo!

No detail but, for what it's worth, on decommissioning:
"He said the two first generation Frigates made proud BN fleet by giving their services for about 35 years in many national interests.
The ships also played an important role during natural disasters in the country, he said.
“Both the ships discharged their duties appropriately in the Bay of Bengal to protect the country’s economic maritime area and save the country from outer enemy, terrorist and smugglers,” he also said.
The warships also raised Bangladesh flag in the world by showing their capabilities during different international naval exhibitions along with many modern and well-mechanised naval forces of developed countries, he added."

Did she ever see active service?

Cheers Marc, I need to pm you shortly

Leopard-class off which 4 were built for the RN and 3 for India.
It's amazing that Abu Bak lasted for so long in Bengladesh service.
Great shot Allan.

Cheers,
