The Commanders Respond: Pakistan Navy

Proceedings Magazine - March 2012 Vol. 138/3/1,309

A new U.S. defense strategy unveiled in January calls for a resized, refocused military. Proceedings asked the leaders of the world’s sea services: In an era of austere defense budgets and rapidly increasing technologies, what are the strategic objectives for your naval force over the next 5 years? 10 years? 20 years?

Admiral Muhammad Asif Sandila
Pakistan’s location—in close proximity to the northwest portion of Indian Ocean adjoining the strategic Gulf of Oman, North Arabian Sea, and Gulf of Aden—puts it in a region that is home to intense maritime activity. That activity, both legal and illicit, has lately attracted a global spotlight.

Because Pakistan’s navy has the requisite hardware in all dimensions of maritime warfare and infrastructure ashore, it plays a crucial role in securing the global maritime highway that meets the growing energy demands of the West and the East.

At the same time, Pakistan faces a phenomenal naval buildup in our region that has the potential to disturb the maritime balance of power. Our future challenges in that arena thus run the entire gamut of maritime warfare, with conventional warfighting at its very heart. Based on that, our long-term strategic objective is to build a navy that not only secures global maritime stakes in the region but also caters to our national-security needs.

The navy we seek to develop is thus a lean, yet potent force capable of responding to all challenges—from strategic to conventional to sub-conventional levels. Our near- and medium-term objectives are all directed to achieve our stated policy.

To that end, we aim to develop our human resources in all fields of modern maritime warfare (including cyber and space), build our infrastructure further toward the West, and acquire modern hardware capable of thwarting any aggression. These steps will further add to our capabilities to undertake long-haul maritime operations and also maintain our status as a relevant power in the region.

Apart from those core undertakings, we want to engage in activities that affect our country’s environment and general welfare. In that regard, we will strive to play a more assertive and proactive role in making our coastal populace aware of the fragility of the marine environment and the hazards of marine disasters.

Already-shifting weather patterns have increased the frequency and ferocity of storms and floods in our region, so we will assume a larger role in providing disaster relief to coastal residents against these calamities. We also remain conscious of the need to develop our maritime sector and hope to bring other national agencies and institutions to a common platform that will put a long-term sustained program in place to realize the maritime sector’s true potential.

We believe these well-articulated long- and near-term objectives will help us acquit our national and international obligations honorably.

Pakistan granted observer status at Western Pacific Naval Symposium

Globaltimes.cn | 2014-4-24
By Yu Jincui in Qingdao

Pakistan Naval Chief hailed the role of the Western Pacific Naval Symposium (WPNS) in reinforcing maritime security cooperation among member states during a bi-annual event in China’s eastern port city of Qingdao on April 22.

Though not yet a formal member of the symposium, the 21 member states unanimously agreed to name Pakistan a WPNS observer at the symposium.

According to Admiral Muhammad Asif Sandila, Pakistan's Chief of Naval Staff (CNS), cooperative maritime security mechanism among navies can better solve cross-border maritime issues such as piracy, terrorism and drug smuggling.

“The symposium is basically to help enhance cooperation in fields such as search and rescue and anti-piracy. Pakistan is very pleased to be granted observer status and we hope to work with other countries,” Sandila told the Global Times.

this is the navy speaking?!

I know I hope we get them and also some how get the money to buy new ones from China

 

[S.Y.A]

seriously man i think we should not get a single thing from USA anymore, its prone to sanctions. and once that door is firmly closed, only then the navy will look forward to(or rather forced to look forward to) developing tech in the country.

Wow France builds subs in 1.25-2 years and we take 5 years for PNS/M Hamza, are we that crap?

 

[Indus Falcon]

Wow France builds subs in 1.25-2 years and we take 5 years for PNS/M Hamza, are we that crap?

Absolutely NOT.
We took some time absorbing the technology/ methodology, plus due to budget constraints we took our time. Thirdly, given the financial resources we can build one in a year +/-

 

[Rashid Mahmood]

France built there first modern submarine in 1900, how can we compare with them.

 

[Thorough Pro]

France has been building Subs for more than 5/6 decades, we were just learning to assemble. Did you start running right after birth or took some time to learn that one step at a time?

Wow France builds subs in 1.25-2 years and we take 5 years for PNS/M Hamza, are we that crap?
