Do you think PN was right when they wanted Upholder class? And Pakistan Gov't went for 90Bs instead.
Does Upholder have AIP or option to have it??
Which one overall better for Pakistan?
Edit:
What MLU can be given to 90Bs?? What new features can added as per current threats?
The Upholder is a fine boat. They were very quiet and capable when they first came into service with RN (after some delay as a few design flaw were fixed). However,they were decommissioned when they had served just 1,5-3 years. And any boat quickly deteriorates when laid up without proper conservation and care. Messing up the existing command and control systems - as the Canadian did - didn't help either. Upholders can be (re)fitted with AIP.
