According to Globalsecurity.org and FAS.org, the average operating cost of an OHP frigate in 1996 was $16 million a year. That was when the OHP-class still has its Mk. 13 single-arm multi-purpose missile launchers with SM-1MR Standard surface-to-air missiles and Harpoon anti-ship missiles.

That's about half the annual cost of running a UK Type 22 batch 3 frigate

MaxDefense: Why Not The Oliver Hazard Perry-class frigate for the Philippine Navy?
Let's take that into account: ... 1996 is almost 20 years ago!

Perry cost see here: www.dtic.mil/dtic/tr/fulltext/u2/a272492.pdf


If you consider Type 22 operating cost in 2001 (11,9 million POUND > 20 million dollar) then the 2010 number of 16 million POUND > 26,9 million dollar probably is more realistic, given that these arew ships of similar size and vintage.

With inflation and droping Rupee value , our cost to maintain OHP would be really 45-55 Million dollars per ship

These ships only are viable option with the Genesis Upgrade

Which is sufficient platform for our defensive needs

4 Ships would be a respectable addition for OHP perry class the Genesis modernization is a great addition on the ships

Good question.......Will the GENESIS upgrade to the OHPs achieve that?

i dont know if FL3000N could be a replacement of HQ7 on f22p?
it seems affordable and reasonable.however i dont know much if FL3000N would perform better than hq7.BTW i can still see hq7 pics on land forces of PLA,which indicates hq7 to be reliable to PLA

I once again say that Pakistan should put its money on SUBs.

 

[AZADPAKISTAN2009]

We are putting money on both subs and frigates

Frigates will be of little use against your arc rival India. India may take them out with single shot of brahmos. Subs may cause some concern and danger for Indian navy.

frigates has its position in nearly every navy.it's a symbol when you send your ship to exclusive economic zone during peaceful days.While other ships can also do that thing,but frigates is a composite of fire power,cruising endurance and many other things
