Ever requirement what type of frigate?
. I conside the project Perry is most disagree to Pakistan navy.
The air raid and torpedor raid are main threaten of the frigate. The sm-1 missile do not have ability of whole artitude combat .when intercept the low artitued target ,the SM-1 may be happen careless omission . that is every doom,most modern air raid are low artitude through the vessels defence.Only Two holicopters are consided most effective ASW system,but we notice the Pakistan coast do not have enough depth for India and Iran, the frigate alone perform tasks of ASW will be attacked by air raiding easily.
The air raiding consist the missle and fighter raiding. The missile are most threaten. The type the weakness of Perry are the airdefebce ability fall short in low altitued throughing missiles.
In fact ,fighter provide the high altitued and lond distence airdefence,the frigate form the air defence of low altoitued and close distence,but the Perry is undenproof .
After adopte Perry ,Pakistan Navy had to equipement another type frigate so that supply airdefence the low altitued threaten. Fighter and two type frigates form the whole altitued airdefence in the sae.
Pakistan navy require the frigste have low altitued airdefence system,have continuous airdefence missile firepower,it is distence within 13000m to 15000m .only one type fighter and the fighter can form the whole altitued airdefence in the sea.
Pery was never intended as AAW vessel. Rather, it was designed as a (Atlantic) convoy ASW escort that could also provide some area air defence for the protection of consort ships (i.e. unarmed merchants). Strong point of the Perry thus is ASW. Mk 13 launchers for SM1 are disembarked in most cases in USN today. If nothing else, these could be given a 21 round RAM launcher in place of the Mk13 and 2x2 (or better) Harpoon AShM (though a fit of 1x Mk41 8-cell launcher with 32 ESSM - which has range similar to SM1 - and a fire control upgrade would better than fitting RAM). OHP in PN would operate under cover of land based aircraft. It will be a big step forward for PN to get to a point where it operates 6 or more frigate sized surface combattants,
all of which equipped with SAM and AShM...
