Pakistan Navy Fast Attack Craft launched

[AgNoStiC MuSliM]

In late February 2010, AMI received a copy of a Pakistani Navy (PN) tender inquiry concerning the procurement of two 500-ton Fast Attack Craft (FAC). The tender was released by Electronic Business Systems of Karachi for the Ministry of Defence Production. The invitation to tender (ITT) (No. 1347/209/DGDP/PC-4 dtd 11 Feb 2010 on FOB basis due for opening on 24 March 2010) is for the supply of two 500-ton FAC hulls, fitted for weapons configuration. Responses to the ITT are due by 1500 (local time) on 22 March 2010 if by post, and 1030 (local time) 24 March 2010 if delivered by hand. Opening will occur at 11 (local) on 24 March.

The entire tender document can be found in AMI’s Electronic Library at: http://www.amiinter.com/wnpr/download_docs/index.html.

After entering the website, click on the Pakistan country folder, then click on Tender for Two 500-Ton FAC for Pakistani Navy.

The ITT lists the main characteristics for the FAC as follows:

-Full load displacement of 500-600 tons
-Overall length of 60 meters (196.8ft)
-Radius of action equal to or greater than 500 nautical • miles, max speed 30 knots
-Complement of 55-60 personnel
-And fitted with the following weapon and sensor systems:
-8 Chinese C-802A SSMs
-Two 25mm close range semi-automatic EO/IR AA • guns
-Two 12.7mm machine guns
-Chaff and IR decoys
-Air/Surface search radar with track while scan (TWS) function
-Electro optical director and fire control radars for associated weapons
-Identification Friend or Foe (IFF) System
-Modern C3 System

Detailed main characteristics, design specifications, operational capabilities and combat capabilities are described in detail in the ITT.

Was guided to this by H Khan's post in pakdef.

Completely slipped by me - anyone else aware of this?

The tender date is passed, so proposals must have been submitted by now. I did a quick google, and there are not a lot of FAC in the 500 ton class that I could find. A Chinese model does exist (likely choice given the requirements for C802A missile).

Hi,
what are the prospects of type 022 making its way in PN

 

[AgNoStiC MuSliM]

Referring to this:

Type 022 (Houbei Class) Fast Attack Missile Craft - SinoDefence.com

The Type 022 is 40m in length, 12m in beam, and 1.5m in draught. The vessel has a full displacement of 220 tonnes. The propulsion includes two diesels rated at 6,865hp and two water jets, giving a maximum speed of 36 knots. The vessel is operated by 12~14 crew.

=====

The specs of the Type 022 don't appear to match up with the PN's requirements in the tender, by a large amount.

The Type 037 does appear to match the specs in the tender.

Type 037-II (Houjian Class) Missile Corvette - SinoDefence.com

Wasn't Turkey also developing a missile boat larger than the MRTP-33?

thats too bad, type-22 is a very capable ship and is supposedly fairly good at evading radar can house 8 missiles and with data link can attack over the horizon targets, china already has them in large numbers and as the class suggests(FAC) they are fast

Might be a bit off topic, but it looks like PPRA rules were yet again violated as the necessary conditions don't look to have been met.

Wasn't Turkey also developing a missile boat larger than the MRTP-33?

We need Cabatli53 .

MRTP-33

BUT

Corvettes & missile boats
The Pakistan Navy operates four Jalalat class 200 ton missile boats each armed with four Chinese C-802 anti-ship missiles. The Jalalat II Class were locally produced using a German design. In November 2006 the Pakistan Navy ordered two MRTP-33 missile boats from Yonca-Onuk shipyards of Turkey.[32] The first will be delivered in 2008. The Navy has an overall requirement of eight MRTP-33s.

Is it what we are reffering to ?

Bro !!!

Yonca-Onuk is working on development of a new patrol boat having more bigger deplacement than MRTP-33 called MRTP-44 but I do not suppose that It will meet the requirements of Pakistan navy described above Because 500-600 tonnes deplacement is too big to construct for Yonca-Onuk...

In terms of the specifications described above, I suggest you to take a look Dearsan shipping YTKB boats being under construction phase for Turkish Navy now a days... I think A Modified version of YTKB can meet the requirements of PN easily...

The weapons selected for YTKB is to meet the requirements of TN (Coastal patrol, Anti-Submarine, Air target engagement and escort missions).. She can easily be modified in accordance with requirements of PN...

Thanks Cabatli , if it does what else we need if it comes from a Brother Nation.

Hi
dont we already have MRTP-33 in PN? i think we have them already

 

[cabatli_53]

Bro, It is understood that YTKB can not also meet the requirements of PN described above... I think You need something like Turkish Kilic-II FAC's ordered from Germany and constructed in Turkey...

Turkish indigenous 500+dwt FAC program will start after TF-2000 program so I do not suppose that Any Turkish institues will join into this tender...

Pakistan and Turkey both have ship building industry, the latter having design capability as well. Why doesn't Pakistan design its own small 500-1000 tonne vessels, some for anti shipping roles and some for fleet air defence, with missiles being fitted with the help of the Chinese? I mean that would provide a fast and effective way to let these smaller boats operate ahead of our fleet, so they can track and target aircraft out at sea.

 

[pakistantiger]

yea only way is to self reliance and help from friendly countries can be addopted in some techinical matters with help of china or turky because only close allys of pakistan are turky and china not us or euorpe. If not look for Type-037II class corvets from china which has displacement of 520 tons and PN requires 500 which is good having extra 20 ton capacity

 

[nightrider_saulat]

CHINESE one looks more lethal.......

 

[Myth_buster_1]

Guys the closest to PN requirement is

Type 037-II


# Displacement: 520 ton
# Length: 65.4 m
# Beam: 8.4 m
# Draft: 2.4 m
# Speed: 32 kt
# Range: 1,800 nm @ 18 kt
# Propulsion: 2xSEMT-Pielstick 12 PA6 280 diesel engines @ 1,584 hp with 3 shafts
# Complement: 75
# Armament:
* Anti-ship missiles: 6 C-801/802/803
* Guns: 2 Type 76A 37 mm (II x 1) and 2 AK-230

Interesting further development of this type.

4 vessels were built for rotation, with 2 vessels being deployed to Hong Kong each time. The fifth vessel was involved in navigation accident twice. In the first time (2001) it was nearly sunk after crash with a fast ferry servicing the Hong Kong-Guangzhou route. It was on pre-delivery test at that time. In June 2006, it crashed again, with a Chinese freighter, and sunk immediately. 13 servicemen were missing in the accident. The vessel was later afloat again and sent to the shipyard for repair.
This class is sometimes also referred as Huang class.

This is what i think PN version should look like

Expect this much of change like the F-22P
