This is probably where the other OHP's are going to and pakistan is probably only procuring one after all.
Why would the Taiwanese interest interfere with the Pakistani interest? After all, the USN still has 30 (thirty!) OHPs in service. As many as 10 will remain in service through 2019 (i.e. at least 20 will be retired by 2019). After McInerney retires from USN this year, it will be 2 years before another OHP becomes available for hot transfer. From then on, they will become available more regularly.
