Stealth is one of the best technologies out there...but it costs a great sum of money. But the best part of stealth technology is that once you invest money into it, the results are GREAT!! Many countires are looking in making their navies strong, and i think stealth ships are becoming the future.
Counties which are focusing on and have stealth ships are Sweden, Norway, USA, Uk, Germany, France, Britian. What do you guys think about stealth tech? Should pakistan start its on stealth program in order not to depend on other nations???

Take a look at this sweet Swedish navy's stealth corvette HMS Helsingborg

French frigate Surcouf (La Fayette class)

i want something similer to swordship or ddx in pakistan navy.

The PN is already looking for stealthy surface vessels:

It just ordered 2 MRTP-33 FACs with a requirement for 6 more:

It has 4 MILGEM corvettes in the pipeline:

...and just released a Request for Proposal (RFP) for a new frigate. I suspect the main competitors would be China, France & Germany:

Chinese Type-054A:

German MEKO D/MEKO A200:

That sums it up nicely.

PAF & PN are on the ball on most things...they are 2 organizations I expect to be 'NATO-standard' pretty soon.

how about Type 022 Missile Fast Attack Craft of PLAN, it got stealth ability as well.

Ya heard that Type 22 missile fast attach craft if pretty sweet, it will be nice if we can get our hands on it, we need to increase our Navy size since india is planning to get another aircraft carrier.....

Actually India's one and only aircraft carrier is in for overhaul. Right now they have zero in service.

Definitely small missile boats are a great choice for Pakistan, because they are cheap and effective.

I would not be surprised if PN bought some Type 022s. Something that small we could even assemble locally.

well we dont need to worry about that "another aircraft carrier", it wont enter service before we enter our graves.

Sweet, the PN is finally getting the equipment it deserves (usually throughout our military history it has been neglected as compared to the PA and PAF). The Type 022 should definitely be looked into, we should go with the smaller yet more efficient missile boats. The navy is going through huge changes, and this will only grow exponentially as we gain more knowledge from the F-22P (and maybe the U-214, depending on the deal parameters).
