There is a chance that 4 F22P Block 2 will be based on this frigate
8 ASHM
32 VLS
a H/PJ-26 main gun (Chinese version of the Russian AK-176 76.2mm naval gun),
two H/PJ-13 CIWS (Chinese version of the Russian AK-630),
two manned machine gun mounts on top of the main bridge,
one FL-3000N missile system on top of the helicopter hangar.

It is a small chance, but a chance nonetheless.

It would make far more sense to look at the C28A for Algeria, itself an F22P derivative.

 

[fatman17]

What you will get is an upgraded F22P1 or something like that.

Forget F-22P and upgraded F-22P, the PN should dart straight to the 3500 ton Multi-Mission Frigate. At least we can be rest assured of that specific platform having plenty of room for VLS. Because not having VLS =/= sleep for the members posting on this thread, apparently

Though seriously, the 3500 ton Multi-Mission Frigate could be a solid acquisition by the PN. Six such vessels equipped with area-wide air defence capabilities (HHQ-16 or Aster-15) would be a solid boost to the PN's air defence capabilities. They can replace the Type-21s and lone OHP.

In addition, it would be good to see the F-22Ps' AAW capabilities upgraded, if a VLS-based system such as the MICA-VL (or comparable solution using SD-10) were possible.

You mean 3500 ton Chinese high performance frigate...
Yes that's a nice ship

Type 21 are near replacement age...
I doubt that on will replace OHP any time soon

Well new ships wouldn't come overnight. Let's assume it'll be another 2 years (minimum) before the PN orders a new frigate design (upgraded F-22P or 3500t Multi-Mission Frigate), it'll be another 3 years before the first ship is delivered, and a total of 7-8 years before the rest are delivered.

Dear Sir, why we should go for retiring Type 21s we may go for their rebuild with help of Chines, as far as OHP concerns either we should upgrade it with long Range Antiship Missiles and SAM system like HQ9 or sunk it ourselves.
Pls don't make navy a junkyard.

Further our new F22Ps should have some Medium Range 50 to 60+Km SAM system along with atleast PESA radar for tracking. We should arm them with Medium to long range missiles i.e C803 Missiles along with long range Naval Babar Cruise Missiles for counter attack on enemy. We may further get Medium category Z18 for these frigates.

When we will get official announcement on Subs?

 

[Cool_Soldier]

No Official Announcement is expected as it is being done silently,

Not sure if we'll be able to rebuild the Type-21s or if it would be more cost effective than a new frigate.

Type 21s were obsolete when we got them many years back.

PN conducts coastal security exercise

July 04, 2015

ISLAMABAD - Pakistan Navy conducted Coastal Security Exercise code named “Tahaffuz-e-Sahil around areas of Karachi Harbour, Port Bin Qasim anchorage and Korangi Fish Harbour in order to create synergy amongst various maritime stakeholders for generating collective responses to asymmetric challenges from sea especially threats to coastal infrastructure/assets.
Pakistan Navy in a statement issued here on Friday said that various scenarios cum contingencies were created during the exercise ranging from terrorists infiltration through the coast/ports, arms and drugs smuggling, terrorist attacks against assets, infrastructure and hijacking of vessels for sabotage activities to improve inter-agency coordination and develop coordinated responses.
Besides Pakistan Navy, the exercise was participated by Pakistan Maritime Security Agency (PMSA), Pakistan Coast Guards (PCG), Police, Customs, Port Authorities and other Law Enforcement Agencies (LEAs).
During the debrief session attended by various participants of the exercise, Commander Coast Rear Admiral Syed Bashir Ahmad highlighted the significance of remaining vigilant against asymmetric challenges to coastal infrastructure/ports, especially the upcoming Gwadar port.
He appreciated the efforts put in by all and reiterated to accord highest priority to coastal security and continue rehearsing in next series of exercises against various Maritime terrorism related threats.

I think we buy gowing or fremm type frigates they are multi mission and can get from france tot as we did in agosta we lack good ship and get oug of F 22P love affair we now got them time to move forward

 

[fatman17]

Look guys countries like France UK Sweden etc will not sell warships and subs to us. The US can still be persuaded to sell but these will be from EDA stocks to be refurbished. Our best bet is a Chinese platform upgraded with western equipment even though the Chinese are closing this gap quickly on the naval front.

Aselsan to provide CIWS for Pakistani fleet tanker

James Hardy, London - IHS Jane's Defence Weekly

21 July 2015

Systems and electronics house Aselsan has announced a EUR4.68 million (USD5.09 million) contract with fellow Turkish technology and systems manufacturer Savunma Teknolojileri Mühendislik ve Ticaret (STM) to supply close-in weapon systems and communications equipment for the Pakistan Navy's under-construction fleet tanker.

Aselsan said in a 20 July statement that it would supply its STOP stabilised gun system and Communication Switch System (MAS) to be installed on the tanker in 2016.

STOP mounts a 25 mm gun on a two-axis stabilised turret that also features an electro-optical (EO) sensor suite and fire-control software. Aselsan said the EO sensors included a thermal camera, TV camera and laser rangefinder.

STM signed a contract in January 2013 with Pakistan's Ministry of Defence Production to provide technical and material support for the construction of the double-hull fleet tanker, which is being built in-country by Karachi Shipyard and Engineering Works (KSEW). STM is supplying materiel, integrated logistic support, training tests, and trials, along with consultancy and management support for the four-year programme.

The new tanker displaces 15,600 tonnes, is about 155 m in length and will be equipped with replenishment-at-sea rigs and a helicopter flight deck. It is to be powered with a conventional all-diesel machinery plant, driving controllable pitch propellers, and will be able to achieve a speed of 20 kt.
