Our subs will not be the same as the testbed Qing class . That one had an underbelly hump and stability issues due to that . The underbelly hump was added for SLBM tubes which Pakistan currently doesn't need . Our land based missiles are high mobility all terrain TELS unlike india's super heavy road and rail mobile .so out land missiles are our mainstay for second strike capability.I wonder what size the torpedo tubes are. Israeli dolphin class subs have 6 × 533 mm and 4 × 650 mm diameter ones. If I'm not mistaken China's Type 032 submarine Qing class testbed submarine had
Ideally, you'd want a mix of boats, my suggestion would be
- 1 × 650 mm, 1 x 533 mm torpedo tubes
- 2 SLBM VLS and 4 Cruise missile VLS,
4 with 6 × 533 mm and 4 × 650 mm torpedo tubes
4 with 8 × Cruise missile VLS
Save the SLBM VLS for the nuke sub (although doubtful Pakistan will go for a SSBN, probs a SSN attack like Brazil)
About torpedo tubes, these are not engraved in stone and bespoke size can be fitted as per Pakistani requirements which is currently the 533mm .
