Let's recall the specifications of PNS Ghazi:

http://www.hullnumber.com/SS-479

SS-479 General Specifications
Class: Tench-class submarine

Complement: 10 Officers and 71 Enlisted

Displacement: 1570 tons

Length: 311 feet 8 inches

Beam: 27 feet 4 inches

Draft: 17 feet

Range: 11 000 Nautical Miles

Final Disposition: Lost with all hands in the Indo-Pakistani War of 1971 4 December 1971

The 11000 nautical miles range was essential in its ability to target Visakaputnam. If we needed to attack IN's eastern flank back in 1971, we definitely need to attack today as well.

It makes every sense for Pakistan to acquire a few SSNs/SSBNs that can stay under water for at least 6 months, contain a massive nuclear arsenal, and is able to circumnavigate around India at will.

i disagree.

our military officers have openly stated Pakistan has been working on nuclear subs for a decade many of their arms partnership with china revels around subs.the problem was pakistan has traditionally has routed little funds for indigenous manufacturing of this scale

We have not such large water coastline, we don't need nuclear powered submarine, we are getting 8 new diesel powered submarines from china.

your water coastline is bigger than the border of most countries , that's a lot of open territory .

For completion of Triad Pakistan need SSBNs, they allow powerful retaliation in case India change their doctrine and use nukes first or they respond to our TNWs with large nukes then these Subs are only option to strike back.

Just like in the 1980s and early 90s when a certain people said it was impossible for Pakistan to ever become a nuclear weapons state with or without Chinese assistance, we are surely covertly building a nuclear submarine force. We don't need to publicly reveal our capabilities until absolutely necessary. Remember 18th of May 1998 :azn:
 
.
Hope it rolls out soon, we are yet to produce our own submarine in general let alone an SSBN
 
.
But to be fitted on which submarine in our inventory?
Pakistan is building 8 Chinese designed submarines (4 in China and 4 in Pakistan) and completion will take 3 more years.9th submarine will be nuclear powered, as our scientists are working on submarine size miniaturization of nuclear power plant.

And from where we are getting the Material that is required to make the body of SUB,?????? R we making that in Pakistan ?? Where?? And What About Other Hundreds of Systems???
And In Last we only have very few like 2 to 3 sites where we can make Subs or where Sub making facilities are available , And USA AND All other Countries don't know or have Any Idea that we are making a N-Sub and it will come out in 2020, Almost ready in one piece and soon going for Sea Trials...:D:D:D:D
