The Chinese navy has started construction
on a chinese missle destroyer. The ship it self has a displacement of over 12000 tons .The destroyer is still in its peliminary stages pakistan should negotiate a deal in which by the beggining of 2020 pakistan should recieving these destroyers as the old british or also known as tariq class frigates will be worn out. The possibilities are endless if the navy is going for 4 new f22p or f23 p frigates and 8 new or used submarine pakistan should also pitch in on 1 or 2 destroyers.
I don't think you understand how expensive a 12000 ton ship can be , not only will it cost 1bln+ per initial buy , after that you are looking at hundreds of millions spent properly maintaining it and equipping it.
Frigate is the best choice for Pakistan , with budget of about 10 bil and overall economy of Pakistan is not big enough to
support these kind of projects.
