Indigenously-built F22P Frigate Commissioned

[Jango]

In case of warships, the bulbous bow is used to house the forward sonars..........so i am not sure how they plan on fitting it while the ship is in water.

Along with that, a bulbous bow is one of the integral features of a large naval vessel, fuel economy and wake are affected by it.

Bulbous bow are in front of the ship...Maybe we are seeing the back of the frigate that is why its absent...

Are you serious?

Ships are mostly launched stern first, so that the not so hydrodynamic aft section of the ship helps in slowing it down.

We are definitely seeing the bow or front section of the ship.

I said maybe...I have limited knowledge regarding every thing that floats in or on water...But you do make sense because the ship's propeller and rudder wouldn't slip through the track...

 

[Windjammer]

You can clearly see where the provision for Bulbous is, hence it must have been fitted after the launch.

Its not to do with slowing down but to do with simple flotation. When the Ship is on the slipway, it is fully supported by "Mother Earth" ie the ground. When it is fully water-borne (or afloat), then it is supported by forces of buoyancy. The transition from one state to the other is very critical. Because of something known as "Waterplane Area" which is the horizontal X-sectional area of the ship's hull when afloat. From 0 water-plane area on the slipways to max WPA when afloat, the transition must happen as quicly as possible for the Ship to remain stable and not capsize. This is possible in stern-first launchings.

By the way; Ships can also be launched side-ways and they often are. For the same reasons and it is easier in crowded Dockyard Basins.

I was hoping it was our 5th F22P frigate but the news is still good as we have just launched and improved our capacity with 4-5 more coming in few years

Not always is a hullmounted sonar in the bow, it can also be under hull. However, in this case, it is and she was launched without a bow sonar dome. Which, I suppose, can be fitted in due course, provided she's put in (floating) drydock. I suppose the slipway is needed for another ship and she will fit out elsewhere.

If sonars are not Chinese but Western (which is what I've read), you might see them delivered /fitted later (but still prior to commisioning).

There are three slipways and three drydocks in Karachi, as well as two floating docks (see GE). That means 5 places to put the F22P to fit the sonar, when the time comes.

Atlas ASO 94 sonar is fitted on F-22P.

Same sonar is fitted on this Danish Mammoth!

I think it was far better for the PN to sign a contract with China to develop three types of equipment for which PN will pay, like:
Frigate of 3800 tons
Corvette of 2100-2500 tons
FAC of 700 tons

And also with Turkey, like:
21000 tons tanker
15600 tons tanker
1100 tons STUS
Hover Crafts
Patrol Boats
Mine Hunters

And also NESCOM, PN and KRL will do electronics in JV with EU and will place their own in these machines along with weapons of their choice. Surely with all that they can gain some decent contract from other countries.
Just they had to upgrade the whole KE&SWs along with 5 Dry docks with two way cranes.

Also plan a high tech Naval base in Gawadar along with 3-5 Dry docks for Mega Shipyards.

Perhaps Pakistan should consider acquiring this：

with standard displacement of some 1500 tons，24-cell VLS（anti-air、anti-ship、anti-sub）and helicopter hangar。

Order 4，with the 1st built in China and the rest in Pakistan following the path of the F-22P。

I do not recognize this ship, What is it called?

P.S
It looks like a modified type 056?

if it is that then its not an ocean going vessel, also has a very limited range. I don't think PN would be interested in that...
