Bangladesh Navy Is Going To Open A Submarine Base In Cox'sbazar

So how many of them will be there in our neighboring countries like India, Pakistan and Myanmar within that time.

India should add quite a few more to their 15 submarines by 2016. Should acquire 3 scorpene class by 2015 along with their first indigenously made 4 arihant nuclear subs. Not sure if they are getting any more.
Pakistan currently has 8 which includes 3 midget subs(only 110 tons) No idea about their procurement plans. Hang out a bit in their navy forum, you might find out.
Lets just say for now that, with the submarine, we can only get even more advanced than Myanmar navy :P And if we get ming class, then i'm not sure what to do with it except training.

@Avisheik why didn't we pursue Sauro class? any idea?

How much budget has BN allocated to procure-equip and maintain 2 submarines to say the least.

patuakhali base will be operated by Navy's air wing

If you see geography of that area, there are plenty of inlets to build sub base under forest cover. There couldn't be any better place.
