I think time has come to change the role of Pakistan Navy. It needs to have a capability to go beyond Pakistans border to protect its interests. Things have changed a lot during the previous 5 to 7 years and navy needs to adapt to these changed global environment.
Also Pakistans economy is growing and with it its trade through sea is growing. Affording a nuclear submarine now is not a problem. Pakistans GDP has grown from 45 billion USD to around 140 billion USD. Foreign currency reserves have gone up from 300 million USD in 1999 to around 16.3 billion USD today. Adequate funds shall be available once a decision is made to have a nuclear submarine.
I have a feeling we shall soon be hearing about this from PN.
