    1) I would not worry more about ships being undergunned as there is plenty of space left for upgrades. So, there is room to put whatever we want.

    I guess, the loadout of any military vehicle will depend upon the requirement. The maximum loadout will be the requirement in a full scale war and at that time, the number of torpedoes, SAM and AShM will depend only on the space available. If 1000 missiles can be fit in, then that many will be...

    India having undergunned ship is your assumption. During peace time, when you don't see enemy build up, there is no need for overpacking with guns. Indian ships are capable of packing heavy heat when needed by quick upgrades. It was seen in 1971 war whereby India packed heavy heat on its ships...
