Tughril Class Frigate (Type 054A/P)

Overview

The Tughril class (Type 054A/P — Pakistani export variant) is the most capable surface combatant in Pakistan's fleet. Pakistan ordered 4 Type 054A/P frigates from Hudong-Zhonghua Shipyard (CSSC), with the lead ship PNS Tughril commissioned in January 2022. The class features the HQ-16B medium-range vertical-launch SAM (range 40+ km), 8x C-802A anti-ship missiles, a 76mm main gun, torpedo tubes, and a towed-array sonar for anti-submarine warfare. A helicopter hangar accommodates one naval helicopter. The four-ship class represents a step change in Pakistan Naval Force surface warfare capability.
