Couldn't upload pics but here is one pic of Karachi Ship yard. A submarine is being scene in an condition of construction or maybe repair. But a person told me that smaller subs but greater than midgets are being constructed in for navy on some special contract not disclosed openly. He said its 10-15 meters shorter than Agosta's. now the coordinates i have pasted are from google maps a submarine can be scene.
24.829303,66.973159 now in this coordinated there are group of frigates (3 f22p's and 4 type 21 destroyers) but if u go lil up u will see a naval ship larger than these in length which ship is it ? is it alamgir ? at these 24.831311,66.97493 coordinates.

Bro. Although everyone hates my comments and they have good reason. Although I don't know anything but its good if PN is making on its own a Coastal SSKs of 700-750 tons as they are the most important force in coastal defence now a days along with 1600-1800 Tons submarines which will provide cover with more maritime area.

Whereas 3500 Tons SSKs and 7000 Tons SSBN would go for hunting and taking down other targets on surface and submerged.

You are absolutely right. There is a submarine out there...

They should take Pakistan's help in scraping up their old Naval equipment as Pakistan can easily build in HUb/Gadani area 5 Mega Ship yards dedicated to ship breaking.

Also as they are getting new Corvettes and Fridates soon. So, they can deploy their Alreigh Burke class destroyers alongside African cost with 30% Africans, 10% Pakistanis and rest 60% of US presence of these ships.

Pakistani senator urges progress on submarine purchase

Author:Farhan Bokhari, Islamabad

Last posted:2014-02-25

A senior Pakistani lawmaker has urged the government to expedite the purchase of new submarines for the Pakistan Navy (PN), in one of the first public statements on the matter.

Speaking in the Senate on 24 February, Senator Mohsin Leghari said: "Our submarines are old. We have to ask ourselves if with the state of our submarines, we can meet the challenge of the global environment."

Since 2011 Pakistan and China have discussed Pakistan's potential purchase of up to six submarines. Citing senior Pakistani officials, it is recently reported that these talks may conclude in an agreement by the end of 2014.

The PN is known to operate five French submarines: three Agosta 90B (Khalid-class) submarines purchased in the 1990s and two ageing Agosta 70 (Hashmat-class) boats dating from the late 1970s. In 2009 the PN sought to purchase three German-built Type 214 submarines, but the plan was put on hold due to costs that at the time were reported to be in excess of USD2 billion.

Leghari stated after his speech in the Senate: "We have to enhance the capabilities of our navy. The submarines in particular are outdated. We can't compete with India in numbers, but we must have the technology."

COMMENT
Leghari's remarks come as naval analysts say time is running out for Pakistan to order new submarines before the Agosta 90Bs begin ageing.

In addition to filling a key capability gap, the purchase of Chinese submarines could also involve transfer of technology to Karachi Shipyard and Engineering Works (KSEW), which also built PNS Aslat , the last of four F-22P frigates purchased from China that entered service in September 2013.

Pakistan Navy demonstrate fire power at Arabian Sea

In an impressive display of naval fire power, front line combat units of Pakistan Navy fleet conducted live weapon firing in North Arabian Sea on Wednesday.

Chief of the Naval Staff Admiral Asif Sandila, along with Pakistan Fleet Commander Vice Admiral Khan Hasham Bin Saddique witnessed the firings onboard the PNS NASR.

The demonstration included firing of surface missiles from Fast Attack Craft (Missile) and SeaKing helicopter. The missiles successfully engaged the targets thus reasserting the offensive punch of Pakistan Navy’s fleet. Operational efficiency of surface and aerial attack capability ushers in a new era and a quantum increase in combat potential of Pakistan Navy.

Chief of Naval Staff (CNS) Admiral Asif Sandila expressed his satisfaction over the combat readiness of Pakistan Navy Fleet and appreciated the display of professionalism by the participating squadrons. He praised the fleet’s personnel for their commitment and hard work to protect the maritime interests of Pakistan.

The admiral said that while all-out efforts are being made to enhance Pakistan Navy’s combat potential, dedicated and sustained efforts are needed to fully operationalise the existing system in the Navy’s inventory.

The CNS was of the view that in the prevalent volatile environment, a continuous credible deterrence at sea is not only vital for maritime security but also for economic security of Pakistan.

Better for PN to start up on JV with China and brings in Libya and Algeria on board as well on these submarines:
7000 Tons SSBN(Reactor being developed at Pakistan)
3500 Tons SSK
1600 Tons SSK
0700 Tons Coastal SSK
0110 Tons Special Force Submarines (being carried by Tankers/support vessels)
Rescue Submarines.
