“[1951] Engr. Cadet Tareck Anis Ahmed & Engr. Cadet Shafiuddin Ahmed went to Royal Navy Technical College, Devonport, UK for one year induction course before going for shipyard/workshop training and other two went to Southampton, UK. Capt. Shafi was the only Nautical Cadet from East Pakistan. He was sent to HMS Worcester moored in the river Thames near Tilbury, London, UK.”
