PN may look for destroyers with capacity of longer endurance at sea for have better protection of sea lines of Pakistan and will allow long stick surface capabilities, but Type -55 is not the ship PN may want to go as it's expensive to purchase and Operate, most probably Type-52P configuration is good to start with a customized version for PN needs if Chinese route is taken, else Tuskish option is also available.
