Much...Sigh of relief that the Sindhukirti is back!! Much needed. Now please operationalize the Scorpenes and the Arihant ASAP. Also please reach a decision on the P75I-get the Saryu from Japan instead of the amphibious planes, we really need long legged and capable subs who are not hangar queens.<br /><br />Coming back to the shipyard in question- was involved with the shipyard in question on business few times from 2007-12. Very un-professional, tardy and a sarkari culture prevails there!!! Can't blame the Russians. 39 sq mts of hull replacement does not take 9 years-i could understand if it took 4 instead of 2. <br /><br />Feedback for you Ajay-Please report impartially. When you are bringing the dirty laundry of the Russians, please report on the past performance of the HSL yard. The GoI realizes that. The Scorpene is also delayed but MDL is not to blame save that it took a lot of items into the ToT bucket-there was no gap in professionalism and gaps in expertise when a submarine line lies idle for 2 decades. The French or Russians squeezing our balls is a given-you have to work with that.Guruhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17207506803118876840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8726844009873922462.post-22607125707765793172015-05-23T00:00:10.814-07:002015-05-23T00:00:10.814-07:00Its incredible that HSL's lawyers were so inco...Its incredible that HSL's lawyers were so incompetent that they did not include late delivery clause in contract to penalize Russian contractor.<br /><br />Even contract for constructing apartments for common man has late delivery, how can anyone believe that HSL did not include late delivery for such high value equipment.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8726844009873922462.post-54641263452185333492015-05-22T21:46:47.871-07:002015-05-22T21:46:47.871-07:00Is this equivalent to sindhurakshak that exploded ...Is this equivalent to sindhurakshak that exploded ?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8726844009873922462.post-86716662987268918382015-05-22T19:56:03.636-07:002015-05-22T19:56:03.636-07:00Sir,
First let me confess that I am NOT a submari...Sir, <br />First let me confess that I am NOT a submariner and whatever I am writing here is from my civilian experience ! So it may be wrong in some cases. My sincere apology for that. But still few things are worth considering ! <br />1) Kilo class submarines are double hull. ( two shells, outer and inner and ballast tanks are in between to adjust buoyancy ) <br />2) It is very difficult to maintain ballast tank spaces. Considering narrow areas and frames. So if a good paint is not used during building stage or if due to some reason the paint got damaged in some place then that area will act as a sacrificial anode and the hull will get damaged due to rust formation. Only way to prevent this is to use a good marine ballast tank paint which can withstand at-least 15~20 years of vigorous use. And these types of paints are easily available in International market and even in India. ( but costly) Probably Russians did not use a good quality paint ( at building stage) so that we have to go to them for refitting !! <br />3) There is another possibility of hull damage is water seepage thru. the joints of Anechoic tiles. ( or some tiles itself are missing) At that case only the outer-hull will get damaged. This problem can be controlled by regular inspection. If some tiles are damaged then immediately it should be repaired otherwise that area will act as sacrificial anode and will get damaged vary fast. <br />Prevention is better than cure. <br />Regards.Parthasarathihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07701421388606152443noreply@blogger.com
