On 14 August 1947, Vice AdmiralJames Wilfred decided to move the command post from Monora Island to Mules Mansion in Karachi– nation's first capital.[2]: 126 [3] Based in Mules Mansion in Karachi, the Navy's NHQ faced many problems relating to strategic communication with the Air Force HQ (in Peshawar at that time) and the Army GHQ (then in Rawalpindi), operational planning, and execution that resulted in military's overall performance failure in 1971.: 69 [4]
