I think the F22P platform will give us a good footholding into the frigate industry , modernize our fleet with ships that will surely last 30-40 years.
And Type 085 can be aquired as well by 2015 because our ships do need that enhanced defensive umberella from air threats
For me the ship has to have updated weapons and modern control and command and operations
But 8 F22P frigates will be healthy addition to our counter pirate initiatives along the border of Somalia Oman etc
Also it will allows us to better track any smugglers doing their bad stuff...
Now if we get 8 Mcinery frigates + 8 F22p I think then I can say thank to our allies we can call ourselves a decent navy
Not GREAT but satisfactory force and capable
The Chinese frigates will give us the ships we lack but the US ships will offer defence against submarine threats to our national interest
But step in right direction ...
8 F22P
8 Mcinery Frigates
4-5 old existing frigates
Should be a decent force in region
Now if we can also get some subs that would be enough for our defencive needs
They are not our allies bro.....if they were they wouldn't have started terrorism all over the world...plus US would have given Pak 8 Mchenry Class Frigates without charging even a penny...Yes! Instead they are allys in our death for sure...
just my 2 cents...
