YES we do. India Pak and China all maintain discrete land missiles with unmated warheads. That means there's always going to be the temptation to strike first and knock out the warheads before mating and retaliation can take place. Nuke armed SSBNs are your GUARANTEED second strike capability. A...

I can accept an argument that Arihant is our SSGN, there is some potential there. but SSN?

83 thermal MW ke reactor se SSN? Kis duniya mai khoyehue ho.

The entire nuclear and non nuclear SSKs debate going on is moronic. Arihant is an SSBN. SSBN's do not use a higher power rated reactor like SSNs. Nor do they need rapid ramping up of power output like SSNs since they either sit on the ocean floor or cruise at very slow speeds to remain...

Armament and sensors are rarely if ever touched. Design improvements generally are to stores, crew comfort, and automation. Sometimes the very construction is changed ala last 2 Kamortas

Naa not really. It'll be an aberration on the scale of a shark amidst a shoal of bass.

the last several projects have been tranches in effect. P15 -> P15A -> P15B P16 -> P16A P17-> P17A P25-> P25A

True. I should have said the MF STAR as we have it, which is a 3 x 3 meter panel is too power hungry for corvettes.

MF STAR is too big for ships smaller than Frigates. They should be armed with either a derivative of the Revathi (look at the kamortas) or the secondary search radar of the new Vishakapatnams and Nilgiris as primary. (Indra Lanza)

30 SSKs. HOLY HELL. We dont have that many PSCs

MFSTAR is actually on the no import list now. We have a local derivative and the Revathi and some TASL license manufacture 3D air search radar ready. So P18 onwards should be all local radars.

Decommissioned. Look at those Torpedo tubes. Shes probably going to become a museum ship ala Kursura.

Unke boats chalte bhi hai?

Whoever boards and seizes a hostile ship at sea, that nation's laws apply. Aint got nothing to do with firing.

Searcher likha toh hai

Not really. At max, it'll go through one or two hull sections. Not nearly enough to sink a heavy merchant bulk carrier.

Rudder and nav radar.

Oh look its early 2009 again.

Primary idea is to set up a parallel and independent submarine line in India apart from the MDL line. (And the SBC line)

Hain? Caesar ? Marius. The Marian reforms that replaced the Triari and Triplex Aces of Phalanx like Maniples with the Gladius wielding heavy infantry of the cohorts.
