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

[Cornered Tiger]

All of Pakistan's current ships other than Type 22P and the Dutch OPV are decades old from the 1970s. They urgently need to be retired. Hell, US retired their last Perry in 2015.

Perry class is going to stay in PN till 2030.
There are navies around the World who still operate OHPs. It's a potent ship.

Tipu is right. Alamgir Class is mostly deployed on International Task Force operations. So there is no urgent requirement to replace this ship according to threat assessments.

Imagine naming a ship PNS Sindh

We might also have to write "zinda hai bhutto zinda hai" on the ship with its captain doing all sorts of corruption

The ship would also instantly sink as soon as it comes in contact with 1 raindrop of water

 

[araz]

That's beside the point I was trying to make, naming them after Turkic and Arab lord's should be stopped. We should name them after our very own even if it's Sindh

This debate should stop. Period. These names are part of OUR MUSLIM history and should be respected.

Normally it took about 12 months for a type 054A from launch to commissioning. During this period, the ship would undergo out-fitting and sea trials. Some ships took more than 12 months, some took less than that.

Pakistan's type 054AP has some different equipment compare with Chinese ship. And as the first ship of the class, it may take more than 12 months period since testing and verification of new equipment take more time than those that have been tested numerous time.

Set you time line to September 2021 for take-over by PN crew, and the on-the-job orientation for PN sailors might take a month or two before the ship sails back to Pakistan under adequately trained hands.
