'Sword'), also known as F-22P or in English: Sword class,[7] is a class of multi-mission guided missile frigates, in service with the Pakistan Navy.[8] The class is based on an updated model of the Chinese design, the Type 053H3.[9] The frigates were designed and built jointly in Hudong–Zhonghua Shipbuilding in China and the KS&EW Ltd. in Pakistan.: 108–109 [10]
