Khyber (Khaibar) Class (US Brooke)
The Khyber (Brooke) class frigates were leased by Pakistan from the United States for a 5-year term. Due to the Pressler Amendment, which denied Pakistan any further financial and military assistance for pursuing a military nuclear program, Pakistan had to return four Brooke (Badr)-class and four Garcia (Saif)-class frigates to the United States at the end of their lease.
