On May 28, according to domestic news in Pakistan, the Karachi Shipyard held a launching ceremony on May 22 for a self-built 1,550-ton patrol ship. After the ship is completed and delivered, it will be used by the Pakistan Coast Guard. Mainly responsible for guarding the waters near the port of Gwadar. From the photos of the scene, this patrol ship painted white and has a certain stealth shape design is no stranger to us, very close to the configuration of the domestic Type 056 light frigate. In fact, this patrol ship is "Pakistan version 056", the first ship is from the hands of the Chinese.

Karachi Shipyard held patrol ship launching ceremony

The average person may not know that the seller originally selected in Pakistan is not China but the United States. In 2014, Pakistan signed an agreement with the United States to introduce eight different types and tonnages of patrol ships in batches with a total contract value of approximately $350 million. However, due to the volatility of relations between the two countries, the United States stopped most of the Pakistani military aid and suspended the execution of the signed patrol ship contract. Ever since, the Pakistani side came to the door and sought a similar ship from the Chinese side. The patrol ship version of the 056 ship was born.

The patrol ship’s first ship was built by the Chinese domestic shipyard.

According to publicly available information, China and Pakistan signed six patrol ship contracts around 2016, two of which are 1,550-ton large ships and four are 600-ton medium-sized ships. The first patrol ship was built by the Chinese side and delivered to Pakistan in July 2018. It became the largest maritime patrol ship in active service in Pakistan. As for the second ship, it was built by the Karachi Shipyard in Pakistan, and the Chinese provided technical support.

This patrol ship is based on the Type 056 frigate.

From the shape of the ship, it basically inherits the 956 type hull design, but the height of the front and rear decks is slightly adjusted, specifically the height of the front deck is slightly increased, and the rear deck of the helicopter landing platform is lowered. The reason for this is that the height of the front deck should be raised to avoid excessive impact on the main gun operation when sailing in high sea conditions. The lowering of the helicopter landing platform is because the ship does not need to be left at the tail as a patrol ship. Install the space for anti-submarine equipment such as towing sonar, so you can lower the height of the platform to lower the weight of the ship and improve navigation stability. Obviously, the adjustment of the height of the front and rear decks is based on the consideration of improving airworthiness, thus facilitating long-term patrols and weapons use.

Since it is only a patrol ship, this Pakistani version of the 056 ship naturally does not need to be equipped with military heavy weapons such as missiles or torpedoes. Its main firepower is the 76mm caliber main gun on the front deck and the 30mm caliber gun on both sides of the hull. Light weapons such as heavy machine guns. For maritime patrols, this firepower configuration is completely exhausted.

Type 056 frigate launches anti-ship missile

At the same time, since the ship is based on the Type 056 frigate, it does not rule out that China has reserved the potential for firepower upgrade during its design, that is, to reserve the future installation of anti-ship missiles, short-range anti-aircraft missiles and light anti-submarine torpedoes. Space and system interface. That is to say, once the Pakistan Navy has a need, this Coast Guard patrol ship is very likely to be upgraded to a serious warship.

Pakistan has signed a contract to import 054A frigates

It is not difficult to see that from the early F-22P frigates and integrated supply ships, to the 054AP frigates and S-20 submarines signed last year, and now to the patrol ship version 056 light frigates, Pakistan’s maritime forces are increasingly shrinking. The direction of the "Chinese Navy" is developing. From a certain perspective, this proves the correct quality of domestic warships and the direction of naval construction.
刚进口完054A,又开造056护卫舰?此国或建成缩小版“中国海军”

5月28日,据巴基斯坦国内消息显示,卡拉奇造船厂于5月22日为一艘自行建造的1550吨级巡逻舰举行了下水仪式,未来该舰完工和交付后,将由巴基斯坦海岸警卫队使用,主要负责守卫瓜达尔港附近海域。从现场照片来看,这艘喷涂成白色且拥有一定隐身外形设计的巡逻舰对我们来说并不陌生,极为接近国产056型轻型护卫舰的构型。事实上,这款巡逻舰正是“巴基斯坦版056”,首舰出自中方之手。

卡拉奇造船厂举行巡逻舰下水仪式

一般人可能并不清楚,巴基斯坦最初选定的卖家并非中国,而是美国。2014年时,巴基斯坦曾与美国签署协议,分批次引进8艘不同型号和吨位的巡逻舰,合同总价值约为3.5亿美元。但由于随后两国关系出现波动,美国停止了大部分対巴军援,且中止履行这份已签订的巡逻舰合同。于是乎,巴方找上门来,向中方寻求同类舰艇,巡逻舰版本的056舰就此诞生。

该型巡逻舰首舰由中方国内船厂建造

据公开可查的消息介绍,中巴两国在2016年前后签订了6艘巡逻舰合同,其中2艘为1550吨级大型舰,4艘为600吨级中型舰。大型巡逻舰首舰由中方建造,已于2018年7月交付巴基斯坦,成为巴方现役最大的海上巡逻舰。至于二号舰,则由巴基斯坦卡拉奇造船厂建造,中方提供技术支援。

这款巡逻舰以056型护卫舰为蓝本

从该舰外形来看,其基本继承了056型的舰体设计,但前后甲板的高度略有调整,具体为前甲板高度略微提升,作为直升机起降平台的后甲板下降了一些。究其原因,前甲板高度提升应该是为了避免在高海况下航行时,打上来的海浪过分影响主炮操作;而直升机起降平台的降低则是因为作为巡逻舰,该舰无需在尾部留出安装拖曳声纳等反潜器材的空间,故可以把平台高度降低一些,以压低舰体重心,提升航行稳定性。显然,前后甲板高度的调整都是出于提高适航性的考虑,从而为长期巡逻和武器使用提供便利条件。

早先中方船厂内的巡逻舰首舰

既然只是巡逻舰,这款巴基斯坦版056舰自然无需装备导弹或鱼雷等军用重武器,其主要火力就是前甲板的76毫米口径主炮,以及舰体两侧的30毫米口径机关炮,可能还有重机枪等轻武器。对于海事巡逻来说,这种火力配置已经完全口用了。

056型护卫舰发射反舰导弹

同时,既然该舰以056型护卫舰为蓝本,那就不排除中方在设计时为其预留了火力升级的潜力,即留出了未来加装反舰导弹、近程防空导弹和轻型反潜鱼雷的空间与系统接口。也就是说,一旦巴基斯坦海军有需要,这款海岸警卫队巡逻舰极有可能被升级为正经的军舰使用。

巴方已签署合同进口054A护卫舰

不难看出,从早期的F-22P护卫舰和综合补给舰,到去年签订合同的054AP护卫舰和S-20型潜艇,再到现在的巡逻舰版056轻型护卫舰,巴基斯坦的海上力量愈发向着缩小版“中国海军”的方向发展。从某种角度来说,这证明了国产战舰质量上乘和海军建设方向的正确。

Teaching one to fish is better than giving him fish to feed him for a day.

This is a good progress.
It was not until the 1960s that China produced its first 10,000-ton ship.

Pakistani brothers are no worse than anyone. As long as they have a good organization and management system and a good learning attitude, I believe Pakistani brothers can build world-class military equipment.

Like the JF-17 fighter, it is one of the best fighters of its kind.
