All six are in service, one is undergoing refit (addressing engine trouble, getting additional generator inserted).
I think he meant new, but that would be prohibitively expensive. If Pakistan had that kind of cash, then I imagine it would simply buy many upgraded F-22Ps and/or a larger Chinese frigate.
 
type 45's go for over £1 billion. type 54's are the best option or the tf-2000 or a Chinese option for a 6000 tonne frigate.
 
Considering the Type 21s are from the 1970s and now around 40 years old
Considering the Australian ANZACs (Meko 200) are from late 1990s to early 2000s and replacement will begin building 2020 (by which time the oldest ANZAC will be about 25)
In time, the Australian Meko 200s might be an interesing used ship purchase.

Turkey has the 4-ship Barbados class Meko 200TN Track A/B of similar age (late 1990s).
Their 4-ship Yavuz class MEKO-200TN Track1 is a bit older (late 1980s) and might become available sooner
In time, Greece's 4-ship Hydra class Meko-200HN falls in between the sets of Turkish ships.
Portugal's 3-ship Vasco da Gama classMek-200PN is roughly between the Turkish and Greek ships.

Meko's, being modular by design, are easily upgraded. Witness HMAS Perth.

Maybe something for PN to consider. Just saying...
