Featured Pakistan Navy Type 054AP Frigates - Update, News & Discussion

[Bilal Khan (Quwa)]

What is the update of those 8 S20s?

No new news. I'm actually trying to recall if there was a steel-cutting ceremony for the first ship in China, but can't. It makes me wonder if they've gone back for a redesign or something (especially as CSIC started proposing single-hull designs).

Submarine building is the top secret in China.
No informations are quite normal.

i think its the 3rd and 4th ship cause steel cutting ceremony of No.2 ship was done few months back . Maybe amid the recent tensions with India , Pakistan navy is needing these ships quick so they are letting China build the rest of them as well .

i meant the Hangor submarines.

When they are in dock, photos would come out immediately.

Smaller vessels such as fac can carry 2x triple launch tubes and may be heavier vessels can carry 2x quad tubes ??
