ex-USN Gearings in PN service

[KS]

Great pictures - ships look old but they had good upgrades and together with the P8 orions and new batch of missiles we will get the ships should be wonderful asset for next 10 year

Its the P3 C Orions ---- P8 are the Poseidons which are not even active in the USN.

It is used as a static offshore HQ of MSA.

 

[AZADPAKISTAN2009]

Well it would be great addition to our navy , specially if its equipped with Genisis air defence - together with the 8 F22P frigates would form a good group

How are discussions going for next 2 OHP to come to Pakistan ? wasn't it suppose to be 1 every year ? for next 4-5 years - ? or something like that

Or do we have to wait 3-4 years for a ship ?

KEY WORD IS air DEFENCE !!! .. the OHP 6 ships would indeed help us to have a blanced navy at shores -

Chinese frigates for anti ship operations, and OHP for air defence and submarine defences good combination -

Plus addition of 4 Chinese submarines and 3 existing Agostas we should be in good shape come 2015 -

Its the P3 C Orions ---- P8 are the Poseidons which are not even active in the USN.

The Boeing P-8 Poseidon (formerly Multimission Maritime Aircraft or MMA) is a military aircraft currently being developed for the United States Navy, intended to conduct anti-submarine warfare and shipping interdiction and to engage in an electronic intelligence (ELINT) role. It is designed to operate in conjunction with the Broad Area Maritime Surveillance unmanned aerial vehicle. P-8 will employ torpedoes, depth charges, AGM-84 Harpoon anti-ship missiles, and other weapons and will also be able to drop and monitor sonobuoys.

In May of 2004, Boeing was selected and the following month the Navy awarded Boeing a development contract for MMA. The project is expected to be for at least 108 airframes for the U.S. Navy. Project value is expected to be worth at least $15 billion. The U.S. Navy placed an order for five MMA aircraft on 8 July 2004. Boeing's MMA aircraft received the P-8A designation on 30 March 2005. The P-8's first flight occurred on 25 April 2009. The first aircraft will be converted to production standards at a later date. On 11 August 2010, the US DoD approved the P-8 for low-rate production. Initial operating capability is expected to be 2013.

In January 2008, Boeing proposed the P-8I, a customized export variant of the P-8A, to the Indian Navy. On 4 January 2009, the Ministry of Defence of India signed an agreement with Boeing for the supply of eight P-8I Poseidons at a total cost of US$2.1 billion. The deal not only made India the first international customer of the P-8, but also marked Boeing's first military sale to India. On 4 October 2010, the Defence Acquisition Council of the Ministry of Defence cleared the purchase of 4 additional P-8Is, which if ordered would increase the acquisition to 12 aircraft and raise the total cost to over US$3 billion

Pay attention: there are no Gearing operational in PN no more.

No, there is no news yet on additional OHPs for PN and if any it wouldn't be in this thread but in a thread about the USS McInerney / PNS Alamgir.

 

[Super Falcon]

when did pn buyed new ships if we take F 22 out none i think

You'ld have to be (more) specific concerning the types of ship you are talking about. Major surface vessels like frigates, destroyers and cruisers have tended to be used, with the exception of F22P. Current and first preceeding classes of submarines have been acquired new, as have many of the modern day smaller combatant ships and patrol vessels including tripartite MCM/MH vessels, MRTP-33, Jalalat class etc.

various sources have indicated that at least 3 more OHPs will be 'gifted' to the PN.

 

[Aamir Hussain]

That is what I have heard as well

 

[fatman17]

PN 'plans' are to replace the Amazon class frigates in its inventory with the OHPs, meanwhile induct the Sword class F-22Ps into service (upto 8). 12-14 surface vessels wld be the maximum the PN is looking at. it wants to invest its 'scarce' resources on building its sub-surface fleet (8-12 boats).

As early as 2007, Pakistan was expected to request transfer of 6 OHPs. The only actual deal at this time is the McInerney > Alamgir. At present, there are no other OHPs available besides Hawes, which decommissed december 10, 2010, but she will be used as spare parts hull. IIRC there are 2 further OHPs (Doyle and Jarrett) slated for withdrawal in 2012-13 and sales to foreign countries, in which Taiwan has also expressed interest. Such a deal was reported november 8 2010. So, it remains to be seen if these particular 2 ships will be offered to PN. If they aren't then that pushes back further PN acquisitions of additional OHPs (but as LCS is adopted, more will retire of the about 30 still in service). But this (the actual or announced decommissioning of the FFG7/OHPs Hawes, Doyle and Jarrett) might at least explain where the number of 3 additional OHPs originates from.

May I remind the gentlemen that this thread in about ex-US Gearings in PN service rather than ex-USN OHPs, for which there is more than a single seperate thread elswhere on the board.

The Gearing class Destroyer

The ultimate World War II destroyer and the backbone of the post-war navy was the Gearing class destroyer. Operating as ASW, AA, and fire support platforms throughout the world , and even to the present day, reveals the versatility and worthiness of this class ship. This section will provide a brief history of each ship.

PNS Alamgir

 

[truthseeker2010]

I heard that PN is looking for 4 bigger frigates Type 054 is being considered after 4 F-22P.

 

[AZADPAKISTAN2009]

Yes slightly bigger ships are a must for our navy that is as you can see is running some old ships - and with limited resources

But hopefully the 6 OHP and 4 more F22P would help the cause of upgrading , considering India is making aircraft carriers locally so it a big game changer in region
