they have named it yarmook, and yet, its just a patrol vessel. the name should have been given to a destroyer or frigate.

Fine ship btw. good to see that the navy is shaping up nicely. and doing the best it can in its limited resources.

As per Pakistan Navy these ships will be multipurpose as well as highly adaptive platforms, equipped with state-of-the-art weapons & sensors to fight all domains of maritime warfare.

I don't know why but I have serious feeling that there would be a batch 3 and batch four of these ships also.
 
its replacement of total 8 global cutters ??????
No i think these will be full fledged corvettes. The batch I were supposed to be hybrid corvette/OPV and they are probably overkill for OPV and not really great layout for corvettes. But they will do for now. These with a VLS and a layout more conducive for a better firing arc on the CIWS or even the possibility of a PDMS/CIWS are more suited for corvette role.

From my understanding the Global Cutter replacements were the 4 600t Hingol Class MPV (PMSS Hingol, Basol, Dasht and Zhobl) and the 2 1500t Kashmir Class MPV (PMSS Kashmir and Kolachi)
