On 27 March 1980, the Accommodation platformAlexander L. Kielland capsized in the Ekofisk oil field in the North Sea, killing 123. Lindisfarne took part in the search for survivors following the accident, steaming 180 miles to reach the site of the accident. Lindisfarne found no survivors, but helped to ferry bodies found by other search vessels to the main production rig.[3][4]
On 29 January 2004, she was sold to the Bangladesh Navy.[5]
BNS Turag took part in 7th International Maritime Defence Exhibition (IMDEX) Asia-2009 in Singapore and Weapon Multinational Exercise in South China Sea in May 2009. She also visited port of Penang, Malaysia in a goodwill visit.[8]
On 10 September 2018, fishing trawler Swadhin-3 sank near Mongla port after a collision with a commercial vessel. 12 fishermen were on board the fishing trawler. BNS Turag responded quickly to rescue 9 fishermen alive.[9]
