From wikipedia ...The weapons and systems on the PN FFG-7 have not yet been disclosed, but they could include the Mk 41 Vertical Launch System for the Evolved Sea Sparrow Missile (ESSM) as well as Mk 32 torpedo tubes for Mk 46 Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW) torpedoes... Looks like some pakdef idiot as...

The ship is being purchased without some of its more formidable weapon systems probably means that the PN will have to source ASW systems from elsewhere if this is going to be a potent platform. Maybe the Pakis think they can upgrade these frigates like the Aussies, except with Chinese assistance.
