On April 26th, the first Hangor class submarine (referred to as Kirin class by the Chinese side) of the Pakistani Navy was launched at the Shuangliu Base of China's Wuchang Shipbuilding Industry Group. Representatives of Wuchang Shipbuilding Industry Group Co., Ltd. and China Shipbuilding Industry International Co., Ltd., as well as senior Pakistani and Chinese officials, attended the launch ceremony. Admiral Navid Ashraf, Chief of Staff of the Pakistani Navy, attended the event as the chief guest
General Navid Ashraf emphasized the importance of maritime security in the current geopolitical environment of the region during his speech at the ceremony, as well as the commitment of the Pakistani Navy to ensuring a safe and favorable maritime environment for all. He added that the Han Gore class submarines equipped with the most advanced weapons and sensors will play a crucial role in maintaining peace and stability in the region. While acknowledging the unremitting efforts of China Shipbuilding Industry Corporation (CSIC), he expressed satisfaction with the progress of the project and stated that the Hangore class submarine will undoubtedly add new dimensions to the tested friendship between China and Pakistan.On July 23, 2015, the Pakistani government signed a contract worth approximately $5 billion with China Shipbuilding Industry Corporation (then part of China Shipbuilding Industry Corporation, now part of China Shipbuilding Corporation) to build eight S26 submarines for the Pakistani Navy. The S26 submarine is an export model of the 039B submarine of the People's Liberation Army Navy, with a surface displacement of 2300 tons and an underwater displacement of 3000 tons, measuring 77.6 meters in length (previously reported to be 66 meters in length), using an AIP propulsion system, and equipped with six 533mm torpedo launchers. The submarine was later named the Hangor class submarine by the Pakistani Navy. According to the contract terms, China will build four submarines for Pakistan, and the other four will be built at the Karachi Shipyard and Engineering Plant in Karachi, Pakistan.
Four submarines built with Chinese assistance at Karachi Shipyard and Engineering Plant will be delivered by the end of 2028. The construction of S26 submarines for Pakistan is carried out by Wuhan Shuangliu Shipbuilding Group Wuchang Shipyard, a subsidiary of China Shipbuilding Corporation. This is a new shipyard located in the Gulong Industrial Zone of Wuhan. There is currently little information about the construction progress of these submarines in China, but it is understood that the naming ceremony for the first Han Gore class submarine was held in Wuhan on April 29, 2019, and it was named the "Han Gore".
Eight Hangor class submarines will greatly enhance the strength of the Pakistani Navy. After the project is completed, Pakistan is likely to enhance its anti intervention regional denial capability in the region. Although the official weapon system has not been confirmed yet, if the Hangor class submarines are equipped with Babur 3 submarine launched cruise missiles, Pakistan will gain depth strike capability
