PN is now looking for 8 boats as the Agosta=70's will also be retired.
fleet would then look like:
3 Agosta 90 AIP
8 S20P AIP (4 boats to be manufactured in China and 4 in Pakistan). this would take at least 3-6 years after signing of contract.

yer artcle says

China has called for tenders for its type S20P submarine, which is another version of the type 0369B submarine that the country builds to export. Pakistan hopes to obtain six type S20P submarines to obtain stronger underwater combat capabilities along with its three existing Agosta-class 90B submarines. Currently, China's PLA Navy has nine type 0369B submarines in service.

3+6=9 total
agosta 70s aren't in the equation to begin with...

Pakistan Coast Guards (PCG)


[v1.2][24.Sep.2013][© Aditya Gupta]

Introduction

Established under the Pakistan Coast Guards Act – 1973


HQ: Karachi

Pakistan Coast Guards is a paramilitary force which functions under the Ministry of Interior during peacetime. Control can be transferred to Ministry of Defence during war. Officers are deputed from the armed forces, primarily the Pakistan Army (PA), while ranks are recruited directly. Officers and JCOs have police powers.

PCG is not to be confused with the Maritime Security Agency (MSA); the latter is the primary law enforcement agency at sea in Pakistan. While MSA is equivalent to India’s Coast Guard in scope and powers, PCG is similar to State marine police. Staffing pattern is a key differentiator i.e. Army vs Navy.

Tasks:

Prevention of smuggling

Prevention of illegal immigration to and migration from the country.
Stopping enemy agents or saboteurs from infiltrating into the country along the coastal areas.
Supplementing defence of Coastline in war

Area of responsibility (AOR):

Coast line with Arabian Sea: 960 Km up to 12 Nm (22.22 Km)

International Border between Pakistan and Iran: 160 Km
International Border between Pakistan and India: 45 Km
Inland depth varies from 40 to 200 Km.

That looks like a lightweight ASW torp i.e. a 324mm diameter short mk 46.

Mk 48 is a heavyweight i.e. 533mm long torp.

8 Submarines? They better be worth the effort and procurement, in terms of stealth and offensive punch. I believe Pakistan ordered a modern Subtics control for Agosta 70s as well, so Agosta 70s can linger on for another 4-5 years as new Chinese Subs come in.

Are you sure it is 8?

Did you know,the two destroyed orions were the same serial numbers American came to Pakistan for inspection,based on allegations that Pakistan has modified the harpoon missile and missile launch system?

3 destroyed are PNS Mehran, part of the 4 ships first batch of ex-USN birds from 2010. > logically

No..
two were destroyed at PNS Mehran not three.

I see, I mixed up some. ;-)
Still part of the 4 ships first batch of ex-USN birds from 2010. > logically that those would be among the first modified, don't you think.
