Malik was born to an old farming Ahmadi family in a small village named Pindori , located in Punjab . Despite the unavailability of schools in his village , he was sent to a school miles away where he and his friends had to walk for hours every day .

Malik ' s brilliance was recognized throughout his service in the British Army . 1965 war . As GOC 12th Division , he was the overall commander for Operation Grand Slam in the Indo - Pakistan war of 1965 . For his successful handling of the initial phase of the operation , he was awarded the Hilal - i - Jurat , the second highest gallantry award of the Pakistan Army . Controversially , the command was handed over to General Yahya Khan in mid operation , resulting in delay and eventual failure of the operation . The cause for this midway switch over is an object of speculation to this day . Qudrat Ullah Shahab said that " At a time when Major ( General ) Akhtar Hussain Malik was to take over Akhnoor to pave the way to take Srinager , the capital of Kashmir , he was wrongly removed from the command , and General Yahya Khan was put in his position . Perhaps the aim was to deprive Pakistan success in Akhnoor , Yahya Khan accomplished this task very well . " Zulfikar Ali Bhutto said “ Had General Akhtar Malik not been stopped in the Chamb - Jaurian Sector , the Indian forces in Kashmir would have suffered serious reverses , but Ayub Khan wanted to make his favorite , General Yahya Khan , a hero . ” Malik was posted to CENTO in Ankara , Turkey where he died in a road accident . His body was brought back to Pakistan and was buried in Rabwah .

Fort Rosalie Fort Rosalie was a French fort built in 1716 in the territory of the Natchez Native Americans . The present - day city of Natchez , Mississippi developed at this site . As part of the peace terms that ended the Natchez War of 1716 , Jean - Baptiste Le Moyne , Sieur de Bienville required the Natchez to build the fort by providing materials and labor . Sited close to the main Natchez settlement , called the Grand Village of the Natchez , Fort Rosalie served as the primary French stronghold and trading post among the Natchez . French settlements and tobacco plantations were established in Natchez territory , with the fort serving as the local seat of colonial government . Growing tension between the French and the Natchez erupted into violence several times during the 1720s , culminating in a massive Natchez attack on November 28 , 1729 . They destroyed the entire French settlement , killing nearly all the males , and taking a total of hundreds of women and children captive . The Natchez seized and occupied Fort Rosalie .

As soon as the French fleet was sighted , Commodore Taylor made the signal for the convoy to disperse and ordered his ships to form a line of battle to allow time for the merchant vessels to escape . The French frigates were dispatched to prevent its escape and they succeeded in capturing almost all of the convoy . During the engagement HMS " Censeur " lost her topmasts , and with no possibility of escape , she struck her colours to three French ships of line which had cut off her retreat . HMS " Bedford " and HMS " Fortitude " , with the other warships , managed to escape . Aftermath . Several days later the French fleet triumphantly entered the Spanish port of Cadiz .

Coastal minehunter Coastal Minehunters are ships that are designed to find , classify , and destroy moored and bottom mines from vital waterways . Coastal minehunters are generally smaller and with lower sea - keeping and endurance than ocean going minehunter s . They are usually tasked with keeping fixed high - value choke point s clear of mines , such as the approaches to military ports and harbours . In a Cold War context it was especially important to protect those ports used by a nation ' s ballistic missile submarines . Operation . Minehunters differ from mine sweepers in that mine sweepers are used against older magnetic mines that are moored just below the surface . Minehunters are designed to seek out mines and destroy them individually , particularly against more advanced modern mines , which sit on the seabed and can be programmed to target specific vessel types ( see CAPTOR mine ) . To do this they have mine - hunting sonar and can act as motherships and support craft for ROV s and combat divers . However , in some circumstances many minehunters can also destroy less advanced magnetic moored mines in the traditional manner .
