PN is looking to have 2 to 3 different force structures in future. on the west coast it will mostly be OPV and Older ships mostly performing anti submarine function and coastal patrol.
While the larger ships and submarines will be assigned open water operation in Arabian sea.
The most important theater will be on eastern coast close to Indian border. this is where it will need these unconventional assets. Along with FAC Gun boat, helicopter PN will definitely deploy these small coastal submarines. And they will be a very potent area assess denial assets and can also be used as surprise attack options as well targeting Indian ships with torpedoes and if they can be equipped with small cruise missiles that will be even more effective for both anti ship and land attack as well.
