The reality is that to make a high quality ship you need to have an idea what you want its role to be a design it to fulfill that role effectively from the ground up. Because PN has been the step child of the military, it has been given scraps with which to make a defensive force. BUT for the first time in its history it made a good call to go out and get the design rights and sales rights tona successful program and contract the building/design company to help with modifications. All thats left to be seen is what they call as their requirements. To be honest, tonnage, while important is not the end all be all. There are plenty of smaller ships the punch way above their weight class in offense, and defense.
Examples
1. Buyan-M corvette: 949t. 4300km range. Crew of 52. 100mm cannon, 2 AK-630-M2 dual cannons, 1 Panstir-M (which has 2 rotary ciws cannons and 8 hermes-K 20km missiles), 8 igla missiles AND 8 Kalibr AShM/LACM
2. Sa'ar 6 corvette: 1900t. 7400km range. 2 typhoon stations for 30mm RCWS, 76mm cannon, 16 Gabriel V AShM (400km), 32 Barak 8 (70-100km SAM), C-Dome with 40 Tamir Interceptors (17km).
3. Steregushchiy class corvette. 1800t. 7000km range. Crew 90. 8 Kh-35 AShM (300). 12 cells for quad packed S-350 REDUT SAMs (40-120km range depending on missile used) for 48 SAMs. Kashtan and AK-630 CIWS.
4. Hamina Class FAC: 250T. 1000km range. Crew 26. 4 RBS-15 mk2 (AShM), 8 Umkhonto-IR-blk2 (15km), 57mm Cannon.
So for PN having the design is all well and good, but what they need is a proper utilization of space and a discerning eye for the systems they are integrating.
For Jinnah Class, PN gets to design it and given its likely enlarged footprint, PN should try take full advantage of its space. With that in mind if Jinnah will be the workhorse of the navy, PN will need to pattern if as an enlarged equivalent to Sa'ar 6 which in my opinion is the most heavily armed per ton ship in the world. That is that it needs to utilize its space very well.
To me that means going and getting Sylver A-50 or developing a VLS System with Turkey which would allow for quadpacking the CAMM-ER and possibly incorporating HQ-9. 32 cells with 24 HQ-9 and 32 quad packed CAMM-ER. Additionally there should be accommodations for 12 heavy AShM (mix of CM-302 and Harbah (6 and 6). Then a 24 cell FL-3000N and 2 Gokdeniz CIWS. FL-3000N and Gokdeniz need to be tied into autonomous fire control system much like C-dome, to allow for rapid and automated engagement of missiles that made it past CAMM-ER.
