Show me a scientific article or research paper which states this - that you have boldly claimed.
''Ships with 3500 ton displacement are inappropriate for littoral warfare period.''
You have based your entire argument on this ridiculous statement,which if taken as true along with your'e second statement ''almost all future naval conflicts will be played out in the continental shelf or littoral areas. I am afraid you don't get it'',means that all the big naval planners of the world don't get it but somehow you do.Without even any research or professional experience to speak of.Who is the joker here?As for USN it has now cancelled LCS programme as a failure,will build no more and has replaced it with 4000 tonne frigate programme.But ofc u know better than usn,because oh wait mighty bangladeshi navy has a few small junk ships nobody gives a damn about.
Well, in Gulf War Lynx ASW helicopter perform wonder by destroying many small vessels of Iraq Navy using their sea skua missiles. In age of network centric warfare most of littoral operation against small and agile vessels mostly will be done using aircraft or helicopter guided by larger vessels who had good radar, sonar and other Navigation systems.
Back to Sandhinota class
This vessels is at best become surface warfare patrol corvettes. No ASW equipment at all, not even hull mounted sonar, and rack for CAPTAS, and triple mounted torps launcher.
