It is not by sheer accident that Pakistan Navy has asked for 12 Submarines.
The Weapons System any branch of Armed Forces asks for is dictated by its Military Doctrine.
Because of its limited Budget in comparison with India, Pakistan has rightly opted for a Defensive Military Doctrine as opposed to an Offensive one. We don't have the funds to have large number of Destroyers and therefore we are not interested in becoming a " Blue Water Navy ". Our goal is to defend our own sea lanes in case of War and Protect our Coast line. This is why we have opted for Submarines as they are the best " Sea Denial " weapon to counter our Enemy's large Destroyer Force.
I think Pakistan should have at least 20 to 25 Submarines to make sure Indian Destroyers and Frigates never leave their Ports.
