Pakistan's long-term planning should be to establish more shipyards in Gwader and Pasni.
Once we have this capability, we can build these ships in Pakistan, and be able to work on multiple projects at the same time.
Pakistan's economic situation doesn't allow Pakistan to spend too much on naval ships, but we must protect Gwadar and other ports in Pakistan.
I think Pakistan should go toward large numbers of smaller surface ships, for example, patrol boats,Fast Attack Craft, Corvette, and Frigate. if we can afford it, then we should try heavier Frigate/destroyer, for example, Turkish TF-2000 program.Chinese option is Typer 52C/52D and Typer 055.
Pakistan needs 10 missile boats, Pakistan should go for Type 022 missile boat [224 ton full loaded with eight C-803 Anti-ship (range 350+ km) missiles]. Chinese needs to find a space to install RIM-116 Rolling Airframe Missile on this boat for better air defense.
6 to 10 Fast Attack Craft- FAC [500-750 Tons] (Azmat Class or better) with all VLS capability for launching AShM/Cruise Missiles and Torpedoes Launchers.
*6 to 8 Corvette [1500-2500] with all VLS capability for launching AShM/Cruise Missiles and Anti Air missiles.
*8-10 Frigate [3500-4500 Tons] with all VLS capability for launching AShM/Cruise Missiles and Anti Air missiles.
Turkish option might be little more expensive but it's a better option.
Turkish TF-2000 Frigate/Destroyer
Turkish TF-1000 Frigate
Turkish modified Ada class corvette with VLS
Let's also look at Chinese option Type 052C and Type 052D.
Acquiring Surplus Ships might not be a bad idea.
Type 23 Frigate (HMS Argyll,HMS Lancaster and HMS Iron Duke) might be available from UK, decommission probably between 2018-2022.
D'Estienne d'Orves-class aviso from Turkey, decommission probably between 2018-2022.
Cassard class, Georges Leygues class from France, decommission probably between 2018-2022.
Göteborg-class corvette from Swedish Navy, decommission probably between 2018-2022.
Santa María class from Spain, decommission probably between 2018-2022.
