Well, a ship was sunk. It was war. Do you want me to list the record of the PN against IN in that particular war? Ofcourse, you can say its wikipedia
1. 2 destroyers
2. 1 minesweeper
3. 3 patrol vessels
4. 7 gunboats
5. 18 Cargo,Supply and Communication ships, 3 Merchant Navy ships captured, 10 small vessels captured
for the loss of 1 frigate? I think, that's not something the PN should really boast about.
Another reason...why NS went running to Washington.
Exercise Seaspark—2001
"As if these military lapses were not enough, the Deputy Chief of the Naval Staff (Operations) in a recent press briefing (Dawn February 22) has ruled out any possibility of a “blockade” of Karachi port by the I.N on “technical grounds” and termed it as an Indian political publicity ploy. If memory serves us right (since we are a nation bereft of any useful memory), in its final stages it was the “threat of blockade” that eventually pulled the curtains down on Kargil and the then able-minded Prime Minister dashed to Washington to receive the concluding bashing from our masters in the Oval office. With our economy precariously placed, volatile internal situation and geo-strategic environs favouring our adversary, not much efforts were required on part of I.N towards realisation of such an objective, had it been given a go ahead then. The Indian Naval Chief later, proudly and publicly verified such a claim. What “technicalities” are involved today in such a blockade being enforced by the indians one may ask? After all, P.N Ships taking refuge behind Churna island and other merchantman at Karachi anchorage some 30 years ago was an explicit display of such an enemy mission coming dangerously close to its accomplishment. If some seismic eruptions have lately changed the geography of Karachi and (or) our coastline has, of late, suffered a deformity with new topographic features emerging that may preclude such an Indian operation, it needs to be spelled out for public knowledge. In fact our coastal terrain (almost a straight line extending from Karachi to the mouth of Hormuz) naturally supports such an operation. Not much has come up in terms of surveillance capabilities along our coast either. On the contrary, given the Indian capability in this field (including Remote sensing satellites, A-50 Awacs and other platforms like TU 142 and TU 22-M maritime strike bombers), the upcoming Jinnah Naval Base at Ormara can only provide a limited “liberty of action” and nothing beyond. It is not an answer to the overpowering resilience that the adversary enjoys. Insofar air arm of P.N is concerned, the less said the better."

If you really want to compare the PN compare it with the ICG. The largest ship of the PN (not including the OP class) in sheer tonnage is equivalent to the ICG's biggest ships. The main reason the ICG biggies are not armed more heavily or get better vessels is because its a 'defensive force' for patrol. The PN is a coastal navy, whose sole role will be trying to prevent a naval blockade.
