New photos of Warship No. 1 of the Pakistan Navy’s Type 054P Guided Missile Frigates, almost ready for delivery in 2-3 months.
Type 054P & its weapons systems: A Short Description![]()
The Type 054Ps are state-of-the-art major surface combatant warships, the most modern frigates ever developed by China and are designed for intense Anti-Air, Anti-Surface, and Anti-Submarine operations in the high seas. The over 4,000 tonne, 440 feet long warships will be armed with a 32-cell Vertical Launch System (VLS), which will be armed with the HHQ-16 SAM with a range of over 45 kilometres and the Yu-8 Anti Submarine Missile armed with a Yu-11 torpedo with a range of 50 kilometres, 2×4 ASCM launchers armed with the CM-302 supersonic anti-ship cruise missile with a range of 280-320 kilometres and a speed of Mach 3-4, a PJ-26 76 mm main naval gun with a maximum rate of fire of 120 rounds per minute, 2×3 Anti-Submarine Torpedo launchers for the Yu-11 torpedo with a maximum depth and range of 600 meters and over 20 kilometres respectively with a speed of over 50 knots, 2×6 Type 87 Anti-Submarine rocket launchers, Two Type 1130 CIWS with a maximum rate of 11,000 rounds per minute with an interception probability of 96% against high supersonic missiles.
The Pakistan Navy Type 054Ps will get delivered with advanced Z-9D Maritime ASW helicopters stationed at onboard helicopter deck & hangar.
Would it require a change in the VLS to get the longer range HHQ-16B variant or just a purchase difference, and perhaps chosen to minimize costs for now?
