I hope Turkey-Pakistan naval collaboration will proceed with Istanbul class frigate design which will be a real beast of modern frigates in terms of size, speed, duration and maneuverability.

It is propelled by two diesel driven engines with controllable pitch propeller and can achieve a top speed of 20 knots. There are 4 x DGs for electrical power generation. With overall length of 158.4 m and maximum width of 22.0 m, the ship has scantling displacement of 17000 tons.

Contract for indigenous construction of a Fleet Tanker for Pakistan Navy was signed on 22 Jan 2013 between Ministry of Defence Production (MoDP), Pakistan and M/s STM of Turkey. As per the said contract, design of the ship alongwith Kit of Material (KoM) will be provided by M/s STM, whereas complete construction, outfitting, and trials will be undertaken by KS&EW. PN Fleet Tanker (PNFT) is the largest warship to be built in country to date.

The 17,000-ton heavy fleet tanker has been built with the cooperation of Turkey.

The design of the fleet tanker was prepared by Turkey, while built in Karachi Shipyard.

The project will further strengthen cooperation between Pakistan and Turkey. It is an example of Pakistan-Turkey cooperation and Pakistan's self-reliance in defense.
