Bro, Construction plan: Turkish Military shipyard produce the first warships of its classes, then transfer the know-how to a private one to build them serially in a short time. It was planned perfect but wasn't applied for Milgem corvette cause of some politic reasons but I class frigate and Tf-2000 will follow this roadway enabling to accelerate the construction roadway for domestic requirements.
Timeline will be as following...
2017 I class frigate construction commencement
2018 - Completion of 4th Milgem corvette called TCG Kinaliada.
2018 - Preparation to construct first TF-2000 destroyer - first welding (?)- in same slipway that Kinaliada constructed.
Note*
Turkish Fast Assault Boat
I class frigate
TF-2000 destroyer
TCG Anadolu mini aircraft carrier will be under construction simultaneously by 2018-2019.
-Milden indigenous submarine design phase is also expected to be finalized within 1-2 years as well.

Pakistan also could simultaneously build 2 and turkey build two to help speed the process. But selecting the right ship amd paying fpr it is priority number one. There are ways to improve the time frame, but that is why my proposal to acquire the Adelaides is so important. Pakistan would have 3 additional ships in 2-3 years while new build Turkish ships are coming.. Upgrades to these could be done one at a time starting with Alamghir (as the other three require less upgrades and are far more capable in current form. With the program i have stated above, each of the 8 top end ships (4 ohp and 4 I-class) would carry more a2a and Antishipping firepower than frigates in Indian navy. Really of the non-carrier vessels, only the Kolkata class would carry better weapons loadouts (although is would still only have 32 Barak 8 and 16 Brahmos), but the ohp would compare well (32 K-SAAM / CAMM and up to 40 Harpoon. While the I-class would have 64 SAMs and 16 AShM.
