Type 037-II Huang Houjian class, Due to technology difficulties, particularly on the license produced SEMT diesel engines, high price, and over sophisticated design in PLAN standard, the production was terminated.

This will be a great venture for local production of fast attack missile boats. In order to overcome shortage of crafts, PN needs to build at least 50 of this boats.

No it is a different boat. Can't confirm the type right now.

50? That's a tad bit high.

In that amount you could buy 4 F-22 frigates and 4 type 54A air defense frigates. Which would be much more lethal and useful.

Well I think 20-30 is a sufficient number , fast , so they could outrun , the submarines, and fast and agile to escape from torpedoes , and lethal for enemy ships

Fantastic option not to mention stealth so they can come launch 20 missiles and be gone

maximum you need 3 squadrons 3x6 for coastal defence maritime recee of economic zones. each sqdn can be based at gwadar, turbat (new P3C base) and ormara (sub base).
