Don't know exactly but last I checked KS&EW had no space for building ships even after expansion. The orders have been given to over sea ship yards. Till 2022 the KS&EW has it's hands full for deliveries. The New Shipyards at Gwadar will also join in soon as work on it has also begun. More ships are being built for Pakistan in China Turkey Romania and other shipyards.@BHarwana
how many ship Pakistan will get?

Pakistan is advancing it's naval ambitions at a very fast pace. Don't know why but I think Pakistan has some plan for Indian ocean.
Romanian one was a surprise as i had originally missed the news about it until the launch of that corvette.More ships are being built for Pakistan in China Turkey Romania and other shipyards.

Pakistan Navy’s Vice Admiral Abdul Aleem who spoke on the occasion said that these platforms will act as force multipliers in enhancing Navy’s capability of safeguarding maritime frontiers and would offer more flexibility in the conduct of Pakistan Navy’s initiative of independent Regional Maritime Security Patrols in the Indian Ocean Region.
The Pakistan Navy commissioned a locally built and ordered 4 warships from a Chinese shipyard in the past year indicating accelerated naval procurement.
I think this is 1500 ton as 1500 ton was expected delivery in 2019.We are doing good in Patrol Vessels
6x 600 Ton MPV
2x 1500 Ton OPV
2x 2300 Ton Damen OPV
This one looks like 600 ton Hingol Class MPV
1500 Ton one is alot bigger than this one
This is graet news ! why cant pakistan build marine assualt landing carriers ? with Helis on top deck. Having 4 such ships with supply ships will give pakistan marines capability to provide amphibious assault capability of a one brigade size.Launching ceremony of Maritime Patrol Vessel held at Karachi shipyard
