KARACHI: The steel-cutting ceremony of two warships of Type 054 A/P Frigates Project being built for Pakistan Navy was held at Hudong Zhonghua (HZ) Shipyard, China, on Friday.

According to a press release, Chief Naval Overseer (CNO) China, Commodore Azfar Humayun of Pakistan Navy and president of the China Shipbuilding Trading Company (CSTC) jointly performed the steel-cutting of the two of the frigates.

Type-054 A/P ships are the state-of-the-art frigates equipped with modern surface, subsurface and anti-air weapons and sensors. Once constructed, these ships will be the most technologically advanced platforms of Pakistan Navy that will strengthen its capability to meet future challenges and maintain peace, stability and power equilibrium in the Indian Ocean region.

Speaking on the occasion, the chief guest highlighted that this programme was yet another manifestation of the time-tested and ever-growing Pak-China friendship. He also acknowledged the commitment and dedication of the CSTC team.

The ceremony was also attended by officers of Pakistan Navy and representatives/officials of the CSTC and Hudong Zhonghua shipyard.

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

we had literally dozens of photos from Type 054A from instead the shed

 

[monitor]

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).

why Single hull design aren't double hull design is standard and preferable ??

why Single hull design aren't double hull design is standard and preferable ??

saves tom of weight and space and new materials r strong enough to withstand anything thrown at ut

 

[khanasifm]

Single hull means one hull is strong enough and internal volume is not wasted vs double hull which mean there is wastage of internal volume, how safe is single vs double hull jury is out there

Ship case it also varies by the purpose tanker vs other type ??

Marine expert can provide details

 

[Bilal Khan (Quwa)]

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

True but the PN could have said via the MoDP that production started, even without disclosing the location or specific completion dates. But it didn't.

The modp report mention pak building new supersonic ssm may be to by pass missile range restriction of imported one this missile may be basis of it with extended range

True but the PN could have said via the MoDP that production started, even without disclosing the location or specific completion dates. But it didn't.

What is Frigate Project H1818A ?

 

[Gryphon]

It is the code name for a newly-builded ship in the shipyard.

Therefore, H1818A should stand for one of Type 054A/Ps.

Besides, two Type 054A/Ps are said to be taking shape, but there are still no photos...

Media reports have mentioned that PN's Type 054 A/P and Milgem frigates will have 32 and 16 VLS cells respectively, for HQ-16 (LY-80N) missiles. AFAIK, the same VLS can fire the ET-80 rocket assisted anti-submarine torpedo as well.

Is that possible for the SD-10A (SAM version)? Is SD-10A quad-packable?

 

[khanasifm]

Type 054 vls can also carry 100 km range asroc so it’s possible 24 ly-80 Sams and 8 Asroc are carried in vls plus 8 ssm on additional launchers

No，SD-10A is an A2A missile derived SAM, with auxillary boost. Generally this kind of SAM has bad near boundary, same problem with Aster-15/30
