LPD options for pakistan navy

[Penguin]

Something along the lines of the Dutch JLOS (joint logistic support ship) may be usefull. It combines the main missions of strategic transport (for out of area troops e.g. Pakistans UN troop), Replenishment at Sea of other ships (replacing your olderast AOR) and sea basing (as mentioned above: patrol tasks, much like the Chinese have envisioned doing from their LPD).

Interesting topic.

The info you provided is not completely wrong nor it is exact. Indonesia placed a $150m order with the Korean trading company Daewoo International in December 2004 for four warships through the export credit facility. The first two warships under the contract were built in Busan, South Korea, by Dae Sun. If you calculate in 2013 $ price and if you consider the rise in South Korean labor rate, then at least $100ml you will need per ship. Lets also consider the fact that bilateral trade between two nation of US$14.88 billion and this has been influencing the price a lot.

So the actual price may be well over $300ml per ship.
