==Operation Trident==
During the [[Indo-Pakistani War of 1971]], INS ''Nipat'' was part of the [[Operation Trident (Indo-Pakistani War of 1971)|Operation Trident]] strike force. On the afternoon of 4 December, the strike group made its way towards [[Karachi]]. Late that evening, around 70 miles south of Karachi, the ''Nipat'' detected a large target about 42 miles to the northeast, later identified as the merchant vessel, [[MV Venus Challenger]], chartered by the Pakistan Navy to carry US ammunition to [[East Pakistan]]. It had Pakistani naval officers and sailors on board. The ''Nipat'' launched 2 missiles on MV ''Venus Challenger'', sinking it.<ref name=in-t2tchap10>{{cite web|url=http://indiannavy.nic.in/t2t2e/Trans2Trimph/chapters/10_1971%20wnc1.htm |title=Chapter-10 |publisher=Indiannavy.nic.in |accessdate=2012-04-24 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20120223133540/http://indiannavy.nic.in/t2t2e/Trans2Trimph/chapters/10_1971%20wnc1.htm |archivedate=2012-02-23 }}</ref>
