Why is that PNS Tughill shadowing us?

Just wanted to point out, this is probably the weakest that Indian Navy would be in the foreseeable future. We currently have 10 destroyers 12 frigates and few corvettes. With the many ships under construction, the size and power of IN will grow, when they join the fleet. Now, what is the...

Or Vietnam order.

Ran out of 'ration' on their Navy/PMSA ship like they had run out of money in their embassies in many countries? If resorting to beg, why beg for tea and not bread?

So the first battery of Brahmos coastal battery for IN is ready and deployed in ANC. Good

Visit project seabird phase-ii site physically. Ask @mokoman about latest satellite imagery.

Do you know, one of the Delhi class destroyer is in dry dock at Vizag? Or INS Mormugao is in dry dock in Mumbai Harbour? Answer to all of them is Google Earth.

Contact Western Naval Command. (I am Joking)

Probably just out after her MLU. So the paint job is as good as new.

They will be, as stated by ENC head.

Yes, retaining the arm launcher is a let down. But the 3 Delhi class destroyers will be transferred to ENC, so probably IN is modest in the upgrade. But if they follow the pattern for Shivalik class and retain the arm launchers, I will be much more disappointed.

Definitely, four of this along with 4 ADA class (Babur class) corvette and Jinnah class frigate will give their Navy decent firepower. 4 existing frigates and the two opv/ missile vessel too add to the capabilities.

Any movement on the missile vessel contract, in which CSL was declared L1 in early 2021?

Efficient? In a mission based deployment, it might not be tasked to destroyers to attack shore based installations of enemy. Humble frigate or ocean going corvette/ missile vessels might be tasked as well. Now think, the number of assets the enemy has to track in order to save their shore assets.

Not necessarily. I don't think warships cannot fire LA variants of Brahmos. Steep dive variant though in probability might not be used from warships, but normal LA versions can be fired though. In 1971 Styx were anti ship missiles which were used to target Karachi.

Yes, the photos are a few months old. The Goliath crane has already been commissioned.

It's October already, any news about commissioning of INS Visakhapatnam?

Arm launcher is slower than VLS.

This is most probably from Russian inventory.
