I wish we could customize the 054A/P with the Result. As it stands, the only difference between it and MILGEM/MLU-ed F-22Ps are more VLS cells and maybe OTHR
Otherwise, should look to add 2 frigates in the 5,000+ ton class with long-range AAW.
What are the so-called heavy frigates in the world now?I am hoping for 4× heavy frigates customized / designed by PN/MTC/KS&EW using the ToT gained through the now US$ 1.5 billion Jinnah-class frigate program.
They should aim for maximum indigenous content to reduce foreign dependency by using own ship design, CMS, SSMs, VLS, medium-to-long range SAMs, torpedoes, etc. And, invest in local manufacturing of ship-grade steel.
Agreed. If they bought the design rights, they should have bought expertise to design a 5,000+ ship using those fundamentals (much like Turkey did with the MILGEM Ada in designing the I Class and TF-2000). However, if this is the goal, then MTC better have started on the work already.I am hoping for 4× heavy frigates customized / designed by PN/MTC/KS&EW using the ToT gained through the now US$ 1.5 billion Jinnah-class frigate program.

@Gryphon We should aim to design something in the size of the Type 31e's Arrowhead 140:
Displacing around 5,700 tons and measuring 456 feet in length, the new platform is much larger than both the light frigate originally envisioned and the aging Type 23s it will replace in service.

"Key features include a vertical launch system with 24 Sea Ceptor anti-air missiles, Bofors 57mm Mk 110 gun (already in U.S. Navy service), two Bofors 40mm Mk 4 guns (instead of the widely-expected Phalanx close-in-weapon system), four boat bays, a flight deck and hanger for a Merlin helicopter or two Wildcats, and a mission space beneath for four 20ft containers."@Gryphon We should aim to design something in the size of the Type 31e's Arrowhead 140:

MTC is no more designing ships. Admiral Abbassi has done a great feat by setting up the First Pakistani Naval Design House, called NRDI, Naval Research & Design Institute, and have put together the brains of Pakistan Navy to absorb ToT programs and centralize future ship and submarine design. This, in time, will provide great benefits to PN and once fully supported by the Industry and Private Sector, will make Pakistan a Naval Ship and Submarine exporter, God Willing.
It could get further help by producing more and more ships in Pakistan. Every Ship and Submarine deal should be with TOT and some of them produced in Pakistan.MTC is no more designing ships.

In fact, Pakistan can learn the lessons of Indian navy.It could get further help by producing more and more ships in Pakistan. Every Ship and Submarine deal should be with TOT and some of them produced in Pakistan.
TOT will help us build our industry. We are already producing Missile and big patrol boats and even oil tanker in Pakistan.In fact, Pakistan can learn the lessons of Indian navy.
India prefers ToT and "Make in India". But in reality, India basically builds the hull, and then assembles key units from Israel, USA, France, Russia, and so on.
Without your own industry, ToT is meaningless.

Correct my friend.....We got TOT for the Agosta's but did not have the industrial base....In fact, Pakistan can learn the lessons of Indian navy.
