Fake News. Only the PN has contracted for the CH-4 this year. Army is not using them
Aircraft carrier for PN doesn't seem to be a proposition, maybe a Drone Carrier like PLAN 076 LHD could be an initiative if PN's drone squadron is in place.

Not viable or necessary for PN operational plans. VTOL Drones launched from Frigates and Destroyers are more viable and currently under selection process at NHQ

CH-4 is VTOL ? why did PN contract CH-4?
 
.
CH-4 or something similar would most likely be for shore based usage and not for a UAV carrier or a frigate launched UAV. They will provide an excellent recon and surveillance asset for the PN, as well as limited combat utility.
 
.
The idea of a UAV carrier is something I've been floating for a few years now. It is an intriguing idea - it would allow Pakistan to have a force projection capability at a very limited cost. The prestige of being able to launch a carrier to defend a gulf ally would give Pakistan a strong diplomatic boost.

Imagine an 8000 ton carrier costing approximately $400 million USD (about as much as a submarine). 4x helicopters, 10x drones, 4x light turboprop aircraft. CODAD. "PN Shah Jehan"
