PN Fleet Tanker (PNFT) is the largest warship to be built in country to date.
This is very small when compared to INS JYOTI
All the best for karachi shipyard.

I think u didn't understand my point or i wasn't clear...I say a fleet tanker is a crucial asset of any navies in the world . Here some said your fleet tanker is about 17,000 ton . I was just asking why don't they (PN) order a big ship with long service life .
I wont gain any thing by comparing indian navy by her pakistan navy .:D

INS Jyoti was built as a merchant tanker by the Russians and its the second largest ship in the IN,only our AC,Vikramaditya is larger than Jyoti. Its unfair to compare the PN tanker to Jyoti.

With a 15k displacement,PN Tanker will be well suited for its role. Congrats to Pakistan,good news seems to come in loads for you folks these days. Shaheen,buraqs and now a new tanker! Congrats and all the best.

Sir i never compared jyoti to PN. I was just saying that fleet tanker should be big in size.Since fleet tanker is a crucial asset for a navy.

15k is big enough,considering the size of PN. Besides this is not going to be the only tanker in PN service.
