Whakakiia te rerenga e whai ake nei: Operation Python, a follow-up to
Operation Trident, ko te ingoa waehere o te whakaeke moana i whakarewahia ki te taone nui o Karachi i te Hauauru o Pakistan e te Navy Indian i te Pakanga Indo-Pakistani o te tau 1971. Whai muri i te whakaeke tuatahi i te Operation Trident i runga i te Port o Karachi, i whakanuihia e Pakistan te tirotiro rererangi o tana takutai i te mea ko te noho o nga kaipuke nui o te Navy Indian i tuku i te whakaaro kei te whakamaherehia tetahi atu whakaeke. I ngana nga kaipuke whawhai o Pakistan ki te tinihanga i te Navy Indian ma te whakauru ki nga kaipuke kaihokohoko. Hei whakaeke i enei nekehanga, i whakarewahia te Operation Python i te po o te 8/9 o Tihema 1971. I whakaekehia e tētahi rōpū whakaeke, kotahi te kaipuke rererangi me ngā kaipuke e rua, te rōpū kaipuke i te takutai o Karachi. Ahakoa kaore he ngaronga o Inia, i pakaru te kaipuke kaipuke Pakistani ki tua atu i te whakatika, a kua ngaro te Kemari Oil Storage. E rua atu nga kaipuke ke i tu ki Karachi i whakangaromia hoki i te whakaeke.
