Who was the first Admiral of the Pakistan Navy?

A. James Wilfred Jefford
B. Haji Mohammad Siddiq
C. Afzal Rahman Khan
D. Syed Mohammad Ahsan
Correct Answer: A. James Wilfred Jefford

The correct answer is James Wilfred Jefford. Rear Admiral James Wilfred Jefford was a British Royal Navy officer who served as the first Commander-in-Chief of the Royal Pakistan Navy (later Pakistan Navy) from 1947 to 1953. He played a crucial role in establishing and organizing the nascent Pakistan Navy after the partition of British India.

  • Haji Mohammad Siddiq was a later prominent figure but not the first Admiral.
  • Afzal Rahman Khan became Commander-in-Chief much later.
  • Syed Mohammad Ahsan also served as Commander-in-Chief at a later stage.

Jefford's appointment reflected the initial reliance on British officers to lead the armed forces of newly independent Pakistan.
