Timely review of submarine development race in Asia.

China's Submarine Lead In Asia Could Grow By 2030

• acquiring new types. If we look ahead 10 years the submarine landscape in the region will be very different. And by 2030 China could have more than twice as many as any other other Asian country.
  
  
  
  
  Many Asian navies have plans to acquire new submarines in the next ten years, often expanding their ... [+]

  The total number of submarines will likely drop to around 220. More on why later. But this headline drop in numbers hides the greater trend which is one of expansion and modernization of submarine forces.
  
  China has the largest submarine fleet in the world. I project a small increase from ~75 to 79 boats. Within this expect new classes of ballistic missile submarines, attack submarines and conventional submarines. There is also a small but growing fleet of ‘oddball’ types, including the enigmatic ‘sailless’ design.
  
  India is renewing its fleet and also adding new nuclear-powered ballistic missile submarines. These put it in an elite club among world navies. In overall capability terms it is ahead of all other navies in Asia except China. Also before 2030, it’s just possible that the first indigenous nuclear-powered attack submarine could be in the water. The new SSBNs increase the count by 4 hulls, while other new submarines will likely replace existing boats on a 1:1 basis.
  
  South Korea has a strong navy including a sizable fleet of conventional submarines. The first of 9 indigenous Dosan Ahn Changho class submarine was launched in 2018. This will likely increase overall submarine strength by 2030, overtaking Japan. These are the first conventional submarine in the world with a vertical launch system (VLS) for cruise missiles.
  
  Japan has a reputation for building cutting-edge conventional submarines. They are going into a period without new construction, however, while the next-generation 29SS design is finalized. It is just possible that one might be in the water before the end of the decade.
  
  Pakistan is increasing it’s fleet with 8 Chinese designed Type-039B submarines. Indonesia also plans to increase its fleet by 5 boats although this seems far from certain. But there is a possibility that a small indigenous submarine might be built. Another country which plans a massive force increase is Australia, from 6 to 12 submarines. But the first of the new Attack Class boats won’t be delivered until the 2030s so don’t count in this forecast.
  
  Myanmar and Thailand are both likely to increase their small submarine fleets by a single hull each. These tiny numbers are a big deal to the navies involved and are part of a wider trend for small navies to acquire submarines.
  
  It’s not all increases. Vietnam will likely drop one hull as North Korean midget submarines are retired, replaced by a single locally designed boat.
  
  So back to the overall numbers, why will the total number of submarines drop from 239 to 220? The answer is North Korea. Currently the hermit kingdom operates a massive fleet of submarines, around 71 boats. But most of these are small ‘midget submarines’ and the larger ones are very dated. Many will not make it to the end of this decade. I project a drop of around 50%, which is driving the overall numbers down. Of note, several more ballistic missile submarines will likely be in service. These will most likely be conversions of older boats.
  
  But while the overall number of submarines in Asian navies will drop by about 20, the real trend is modernization and expansion.

US will buy FREMM design frigates from Italy of up to 5.6bn $ in value
Wasn’t Fricantierri designs considered for BN too? Even the French offered it in the form of Lafayette

Yes, but apart from the hull design it will be a a US ship built in a US shipyard - missiles, radars, AEGIS combat management system and engines will all be US.

Your MPA fleets only consist of small planes, I think it is about time to induct a bigger MPA planes like CN 235 MPA. Indonesia use its CN 235 MPA to patrol within Natuna sea (the areas where Chinese Coast Guard and fishing vessel often intrude)

European options hopefully not Indian

Bangladesh if goes for 6 modern AIP Submarines would become major power in region along with having few more Frigates and Missile boats. Than Army and Air Force will need focus

Navy will replace BNS osman type053H1 with type053h3, they already signed deals for 2x of the variant back in September.
Also placed a tender for 6x “heavy OPV” with displacement of 2000tons and capability to operate drones and helicopters.
Surveillance UAV research has been undertaken.
5 improved panda class patrol boat, 2 guided missile LPC are under construction, 6 high performance frigate project is ongoing, plans for acquiring new corvettes underway.
5 new minesweeper ships, 1 submarine rescue vessel, hospital ship and fleet tanker acquisition and construction planned.
MSAR, utility and ASW helicopter procurement process ongoing.
2 more dorniers purchased and long range MPA is being looked into.
Sail training ship is is planned

They have already floated the tenders for the OPVs. So things are in motion then.

Yep... there’s basically glorified frigates, since ships of same tonnage and capability currently in fleet are termed as frigates

Glorified gun boats you mean? I had seen the specs, not much in terms of armament.

Don’t be fooled into thinking they can’t be refitted... even the coastguard frigates had been downgraded for some reason
