'''HMIS ''Narbada'' (U40)''' was a Modified Bittern class [[sloop]], later known as the [[Black Swan class sloop|''Black Swan'' class]], which served in the [[Royal Indian Navy]] (RIN) during [[World War II]].

''Narbada'' was transferred to [[Pakistan]] in 1948 after the [[Partition of India]], and served as ''PNS Jhelum''.

==History==
HMIS ''Narbada'' was ordered in 1940 as a part of the 1940 Build Program for the Royal Indian Navy. She was built by [[John I. Thornycroft & Company]] and commissioned in 1943.

With World War II underway, she was deployed as an escort to multiple Allied convoys en route to Bombay. Upon arrival, she joined the Eastern Fleet. In 1944, she was deployed for defence of military convoys in the [[Bay of Bengal]].<ref name=nh>http://www.naval-history.net/xGM-Chrono-18SL-Narbada.htm</ref>

In early January 1945, she was deployed with {{ship|HMIS|Jumna|U21|6}} to support the landing of the 74th Indian Brigade of the [[British Indian Army]] on [[Akyab]] Peninsular, as a part of [[Operation Lightning (Burma)|Operation Lightning]]. ''Jumna'' and ''Narbada'' engaged Japanese batteries up the [[Kaladan River]] near [[Ponnagyun]]. After embarking troops, she joined Task Force 64 headed by {{HMS|Phoebe|43|6}} for support of landing by 3rd British Commando Brigade between Akyab and Ramree with {{HMS|Napier|G97|6}} and HMIS ''Jumna''.

On 13 January 1945, with the task force under attack by Japanese aircraft, ''Narbada'' downed an [[Oscar (aircraft)|Oscar aircraft]] of the [[Imperial Japanese Army Air Force]]. In February, she supported the landing of the [[53rd Indian Infantry Brigade]] at Ryuwa with {{HMS|Flamingo|L18|6}} and HMIS ''Jumna''. She was hit aft by return fire, but continued operations. In March, she returned to Bombay for a refit and to repair damages.

In April 1945, she resumed escort duties and supported the Indian and British Army amphibious landings in [[Rangoon]] with {{ship|HMIS|Cauvery|U10|6}}, {{ship|HMIS|Godavari|U52|6}}, {{ship|HMIS|Kistna|U46|6}}, {{ship|HMIS|Sutlej|U95|6}} and {{ship|HMIS|Hindustan}} as a part of [[Operation Dracula]]. The next month, in May, she was deployed with HMIS ''Cauvery'', HMIS ''Godavari'', HMIS ''Kistna'', HMIS ''Sutlej'' and HMIS ''Hindustan'' to intercept Japanese troops withdrawing from the Andamans. In July, ''Narbada'' was a part of the planned force for [[Operation Zipper]] and conducted preparatory exercises, before the postponement of the operation.

At the end of World War II, after the [[Surrender of Japan]], she sailed to Andaman waters and her [[commanding officer]] [[Martin Henry St. Leger Nott]] accepted the surrender of the Japanese [[Brigadier]] in command of the [[Car Nicobar]] garrison onboard the ship.{{sfn|Singh|1986}}

After the [[Independence of India]] and the subsequent [[Partition of India|Partition]], she was among the vessels transferred to Pakistan, where she was renamed HMPS ''Jhelum'' and subsequently, PNS ''Jhelum''. She was scrapped in 1959.<ref name="worldnavalships.com"/>
