Operation Barisal was a code-name of naval operation conducted by Pakistan Navy intended to free the city of Barisal, East Pakistan from Mukti Bahinis and the dissidents of the Pakistan Defence Forces. It was the part of Operation Searchlight.[1]

Since the starting of Searchlight, the Bahinis had been staging large scale sabotage missions, disturbing the communications and signals operatives in East Pakistan. The Naval Intelligence found traces to the city of Barisal, therefore decided to conduct the operation. The Barisal was part of Searchlight and was to provide logistic support to the Pakistan Army, by first deploying the Pakistan Navy's gun boats and navy personnel on grounds.
