China has delivered to Pakistan the largest and most advanced warship that Beijing has ever exported, Chinese state media reported.
Designed and erected by China State Shipbuilding Corporation Limited (CSSC), the frigate was delivered to the Pakistan Navy in a commissioning form in Shanghai, according to Global Times.
The Type 054A/ P frigate was named the PNS Tughril, according to a statement the Pakistan Navy transferred to the Global Times on Monday.
The PNS Tughril is the first housing of four Type 054 frigates being constructed for the Pakistan Navy, the Pakistan Navy said.
The boat is a technologically advanced and largely able platform with enormous face-to- face, face-to- air and aquatic horsepower, besides expansive surveillance capabilities.
It’s equipped with state-of-the- art combat operation and an electronic warfare system along with ultramodern tone-defence capabilities.
The Type 054A/ P frigate can contemporaneously execute a number of nonmilitary warfare operations in a largely violentmulti-threat terrain, the Pakistani statement said.
The frigate is the largest and most advanced warship China has ever exported, CSSC said.
