I assumed because this website has it as front page news and shows a Houbei class.

This shipyard is building type 618B coast guard patrol vessels (standard displacement 600 tons) from last year. Search "38.992205,117.72195" in google maps/earth, and you'll see one of these vessels under construction.

I hope the FAC design is a complete new one, rather than based upon these patrol vessels.

blue was nice. Not sure how good in military, but that ship is really nice in design.

There is a picture in the article [1] submitted by Mr. Danyal Saleem Gilani [2], who is an officer from Pakistani Embassy in Beijing.

An artist impression of this FAC(M) is shown on the ceremony display board, though the people foreground blocked most of the view. I hope Pakistan navy enthusiasts can get access to more photos of the ceremony.

The stupid thing about that blue camo is they made a unique pattern for every ship. Someone on the internet actually worked out how many are in service by looking at the pictures. Talk about a security fail....

i think our defence think tank is rubbish buying this is not good enough better of getting destroyers we need big things not small shits

We would be happy to sell if you could afford it.

Destroyers like the type 52C cost an estimated 800 million dollars.

I can't see no pic's in the article...
