Am sure the Indian Navy is happy with this punch. Its a major step towards indigenization of warship production in our country. <br />As regards the CAIO, well in my opinion it is not fully indigenous one. It’s a joint collaborative effort - part supply from an Indian firm and part supply from its foreign firm (look at the weaponry and lo! u could make your own guess at the foreign element in this joint effort!). I think the Indian Navy has nothing to do with either the design or production and it could be merely acting as a facilitator apart from spelling out the qualitative requirements being the end user in this case.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8726844009873922462.post-23477693193787684212010-05-02T16:52:32.916-07:002010-05-02T16:52:32.916-07:00ajai sir,

But my point is India wanted to buy or long lease one or two slava class cruisers.<br /><br />I got iformation that its actually the Ukrayina which is 90% complete. <br /><br />Berthed in Ukraine and not needed by its navy, it a golden chance for India to get something worthwhile after losing out on the Varyag to China, and paying US$ 2.3 billion for Gorshkov.<br /><br />With Antony sir accepting that we slow to expand our naval fleet. That we need this ship to expand our reach across the IOR cant be ignored.<br /><br />You can say its worthless, but a warship is what it is. It can certainly help Indiajoydeep ghoshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00038225081192821456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8726844009873922462.post-21276286820442036612010-04-30T07:15:19.173-07:002010-04-30T07:15:19.173-07:00Joydeep:

Each ship's power plant is chosen keeping in mind the requirements and space constraints of that vessel.<br /><br />The Slava class cruisers are not nuclear-powered warships.

Does it mean that only the LM 2500 is available in the entire world. <br /><br />We should look for other engines also otherwise we will become dependent on whyms of US government. (remember the commissioning of INS Shivalik was to happen feb this year but the US government stopped deliveries and delayed our plans by 2 months.)<br /><br />Hope to see the Kaveri marine engine in thew next Project 17A warshipsjoydeep ghoshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00038225081192821456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8726844009873922462.post-10592644779279566612010-04-29T10:15:53.330-07:002010-04-29T10:15:53.330-07:00An impressive feat of India.
