Pakistan to pay $78 mn for 30 year old frigate ​

USS McInerney is expected to sail for Karachi by the end of this year as Pakistan continues to negotiate for five more frigates.—File photo

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan will be paying the United States atleast $78 million to acquire a 30 year old Oliver Perry class frigate.

The first 30 year old frigate is expected to sail for Karachi by the end of this year as Pakistan continues to negotiate for acquiring five more Oliver Perry class frigates from the US.

Sources in Pakistan Navy told DawnNews that the 30 year old frigate, USS McInerney, was put on the US Navy’s inactivation list September last year. It will fly the Pakistani flag after retirement in September this year.

Pakistani sources said that frigate is a gift from US and will fly Pakistani flag as cost-efficient “hot-transfer” but US Defence Security Department in a notification to Congress said the frigate and its associated equipment, parts and logistical support will be worth atleast $78 millions.

This transfer would be done through the US International Programs Office and its foreign military sales department.

Once transferred to Pakistan, the ship will also join Combined Task Force aimed at fighting sea pirates in the troubled waters of the Gulf of Aden, Arabian Sea and Indian Ocean.

USS McInerney’s onboard refurbishment includes anti-submarine missile defences, surface-to-surface missiles, other advance weaponry systems and with helicopter deck landing facilities.

well it looks by 2015 to 2020, Pakistan navy will have at least three times bigger surface fleet then the current.


The Pakistan Navy currently operates 6 Amazon Type 21 Class Frigates , one Leander class frigate (training), 3 French Eridan Class mine hunter vessels, 4 Jalalat Class missile boats, including variety of other latest auxiliaries, tankers, missiles and patrol boats


But soon they are gonna be augmented by 4 F-22p Zulfiqar Class (2 already inducted), six Oliver Hazard Perry class frigates, 4 MILGEM corvettes from turkey, 4 Turkish TF-2000 frigates (as claimed), Rumors of four more heavier frigates from china, indicating type 54A possibly, MRTP 15 and eight MRTP 33 fast attack boats from turkey (2 already inducted).


Well that would make Pakistan Navy a respectable sized naval force with definite uplift in the capabilities . Hope things work out the way planned.

good news.........

 

[Penguin]

is it true that they will be stripped of anti-aircraft missile system

As has been discussed in numerous threads over the past years, ALL Perry class frigates remaining in service in USN were stripped of the launcher arm of their Mk13 GMLS and STIR illumination radar, thus leaving them without the ability to fire Harpoon and Standard SM1 missiles.

The questions therefore is not whether McInerney will be stripped of something (which is typically not done by USN), but rather whether the $78 million includes refitting of that launcher arm.

What a rip off...need to find out as who is making money???

Don't say rip-off without knowing what you're talking about. Most of that money goes towards refitting (i.e. maintenance), spares parts inventory transfer and training. There is virtually no cost for purchase. Considering that a F22P costs $175 million and a modern European frigate like FREMM costs $300-400 million just to build (i.e. prices without ordnance supply, support, training, spares etc), $78 million is not a lot of money at all.
