PNS Alamgir In Turkey

[AKINCI]

Yesterday, Pakistan’s newest frigate F-230 PNS Alamgir arrived in Gölcük Naval Base for a 4 day visit.

PNS Alamgir is a Oliver Perry Hazard class frigate. She was decommissioned from USN. She was commissioned in Pakistani navy on 31 August 2010. She left USA on 10 February 2011 and since then she is on her maiden voyage to Pakistan. Pakistan is the ninth operator of Perry class ships.

According to Pakistani Embassy in Ankara the ship will stay till 24 April in Gölcük Naval Base, the main naval base of Turkish Navy. A number of port and sea trials will be conducted according to the embassy.

Turkish Navy operates 8 Perry class frigates since 1998 and has an extensive knowledge about the operation, maintenance about these ships. Furthermore Turkish Navy is upgrading its Perry class frigates with moderns combat management systems and vertical launchers.

Turkish Navy has a lot of know-how to share with the Pakistani Navy.

Does anybdy know abt the upgrade package?

The one that is going on our ships ? It consists of Genesis CMS, a 8 cell MK-41 vls for ESSM and a search radar replacement (Smart-S MK2)

The genesis is going on all 8 but the other two upgrades will be going on 4 of the 8.

It would be beneficial for Pakistan to go for this (more so the Genesis CMS as that will bring its response times and situational awareness to modern standards) I am not sure however what the U.S. policy is on evolved sea sparrow exports. This would be a new missile for Pakistan if they decide to integrate the vertical launch system for the ship.
