Third submarine next in line​

Özgür Güleryüz, General Manager of STM, speaking about the project, said:

“As we continue our journey on which we set out for the sake of our country’s defence, we are also transferring our engineering experience and technologies to friendly and brotherly countries. The Pakistan Navy Agosta 90B Class Submarine Modernization Project is one of the most important examples of STM’s national and international competency in submarine production and modernization.

Within the scope of the AGOSTA Modernization project, which stands out as Türkiye’s first submarine modernization engineering export project involving strategic and high-tech systems, we have successfully equipped the second submarine with modern systems after having delivered the first to the customer in 2021. I congratulate all of our stakeholders and employees who have contributed to the project. I hope PNS/M KHALID, which has begun to carry out its naval missions, will be beneficial to the friendly and brotherly Pakistan Navy.”

Pakistan has crossed a major milestone in its indigenous shipbuilding project. In this regard, the commencement ceremony of the construction of the locally designed gunboat was held at the Karachi Shipyard. Commander Pakistan Fleet Vice Admiral Awais Ahmed Bilgrami was the chief guest of the event.

Speaking on the occasion, the chief guest said that it is a matter of pride for Pakistan Navy to start the construction of the first indigenously designed gunboat. He said that the Pakistan Navy is aware of the emerging geo-strategic situation in the region and is committed to enhancing its naval capabilities to counter any nefarious ambitions – on the historic milestone of indigenously designing a gunboat.

The Chief Guest appreciated the joint efforts of Ministry of Defense Production, Pakistan Navy and Karachi Shipyard and renewed Pakistan Navy's commitment to master shipbuilding.

Earlier in his welcome address, Karachi Shipyard and Engineering Works MD Rear Admiral Salman Ilyas highlighted Karachi Shipyard's complete alignment with the goals set by the Government of Pakistan and Pakistan Navy regarding self-reliance in defense shipbuilding. He also apprised the audience of other ongoing projects at the Karachi Shipyard – the locally designed gunboat will be equipped with advanced weapons and sensors.

Officials of Pakistan Navy and Karachi Shipyard participated in the ceremony.

The Pakistan Navy has received its second modernised Khalid (Agosta 90B)-class diesel-electric submarine (SSK) from Turkish company STM.

The vessel, PNS Khalid , was handed over to the service with a new suite of sonars, periscopes, and command-and-control systems, STM disclosed via a media statement on 25 January.

The Pakistan Navy operates a fleet of three Khalid-class SSKs that were commissioned between September 1999 and September 2008.

First-of-class Khalid was built by Naval Group (then known as DCN) in Cherbourg, France. The second and third vessels, PNS Saad and PNS Hamza , were constructed by Karachi Shipyard and Engineering Works (KSEW) under a technology transfer arrangement.

Hmmm....noticed that the rounded bridge superstructure has changed to squarish structure more like that of Perry class frigate.

Seems the last ship which is still active, makes sense, it has a lethal air defence system.
