Navy aims to induct first indigenous aircraft carrier by 2018

NEW DELHI: The Navy today said it has set a target of 2018 for inducting its first indigenous aircraft carrier (IAC) and is "seriously considering" about having a second such ship.

Indian navy has set the target of having 212 ships in its fleet by 2027 which will be a "real challenge" and there is a need to work "very hard" for it, Vice Admiral (Controller Warship Production and Acquisition) G S Pabby told reporters.

The government is seriously considering IAC-2 and it is in "concept" stage, he said.
The Information Exchange Annex signed between India and the US will benefit the navy in its IAC-1 project, Pabby said.

"Since the Americans have a good experience as they have commissioned a large number of ships, we are hoping that we will draw from their experience," the senior navy officer said.

For getting technologies available with the US, an agreement and protocol for sharing information -- maintaining its confidentiality and integrity -- was needed to be signed. The Information Exchange Annex is that protocol.
Since then, a team of senior US Navy officials has visited the shipyard at Cochin last month to help with some issues in the IAC-1.

Contracts for transfer of technology about the Mine Countermeasures Vessels (MCMV) or minesweepers should be signed soon, he said.


"It is moving very well. We are monitoring it very closely because we badly need these ships. We have finalised almost all issues related to transfer of technology from the foreign collaborators and that contract should be signed very soon," he said.

When asked about the Landing Platform Docks (LDP) for the Indian Navy, the Vice Admiral said the technical evaluation has been carried out for the project and there are some issues about capacity assessment, which is also in final stages.

The Directorate of Naval Design (DND), which briefed reporters today about the launch of the second vessel in the class, Mormugao, has provided the first detailed look at the P15B, christened the Visakhapatnam class'

The Visakhapatnam-class represents a terrific step ahead for Indian shipbuilding and establishes once again the country’s prowess in designing, developing, building and fielding frontline surface combatants. More on the class and the 39 other ships being build across the country for the Indian Navy soon

Indian Naval ships visit South Africa

Indian Naval ships Kolkata, Trikand, and Aditya arrived at Durban on Tuesday, for a three day visit, an official statement said.
The statement issued by Indian Navy called is a demonstration of India's "commitment to its ties with South Africa and to maritime security in the Indian Ocean Region".
The ships are part of the Indian Navy's Western Fleet based at Mumbai under the Western Naval Command and are on a two month long deployment to the Western Indian Ocean.
Guided missile destroyer INS Kolkata is commanded by Captain Rahul Vilas Gokhale, Talwar-class guided missile frigate INS Trikand is commanded by Captain Arjun Dev Nair and replenishment and repair ship INS Aditya is commanded by Captain Vidyanshu Srivastava.
During the visit, the warships will have professional interactions with the South African Naval Forces for enhancing co-operation and sharing the nuances of naval operations including combating maritime threats of terrorism and piracy.
Calls on senior government and military authorities, training and technical cooperation measures with their South African counterparts, sporting and cultural interactions, aimed at strengthening ties and mutual understanding between the two forces, are also planned.
The last visit by an Indian Naval ship to South Africa was in November 2014, when Indian Naval Ship Teg made port call at Simon's Town and Cape Town as part of Exercise IBSAMAR, a trilateral maritime exercise involving navies of Brazil, India and South Africa.
The South African Navy also participated in International Fleet Review hosted by India in February 2016 and was represented by SAN ship Spioenkop.

Top 10 Largest Navies In The World
Among the most crucial defense assets for any country lies within their navy. As a result, many nations field very large ships, with payloads that can adequately defend their country, or aid others in need. Here, we take a look at the ten largest navies in the world. For the purposes of this list, each navy is rated solely on the crude size of their vessel counts, and in no way is judged by the operational capabilities of any nation.
10. Taiwanese Navy

Starting off our list of largest naval powers is Taiwan. Confusingly formally known as the Republic of China’s Navy, this wing of the military remained loyal to the Republic of China instead of defecting to the People’s Liberation Movement in the 1940s. Ironically, those who defected from this unit to the PLM’s naval brigades are the ancestors to the Republic of China Navy’s largest threat and primary focus. Maritime operations of this navy include primarily patrolling the Taiwan Strait to prevent aggression from the People’s Liberation Navy. To achieve these goals, the Taiwanese Navy has 4 Destroyers, 2 Submarines, and 22 Frigates alongside multiple patrol vessels frequently deployed.
9. Italian Navy
After effectively being shut down after World War Two, the Marina Militare is now one of the largest naval powers on the planet. A member of the NATO since 1951, the Italian Navy has greatly revamped their arsenal to include a total of 58 ships, including 6 Submarines and a pair of aircraft carriers. Currently, both the Italian Navy and Coast Guard have spent a significant portion of their time and resources in aiding the safe recovery of Syrian refugees from shores far south of the country.
8. South Korean Navy
The oldest branch of the South Korean military, the Republic of Korea Navy is in many ways the first line of deterrence and defense for this country. Having made themselves tactical partners with the United States Navy since 1951, much of the Korean Navy’s training and supplies are supported by the U.S. Navy’s Seventh Fleet. With a fleet that includes 25 Corvettes and 13 Assault Submarines, the primary function is to deter aggression from North Korea, though sailors have often participated in rescue operations, training exercises alongside the international community for search and rescue, and is one of the larger forces participating in the anti-piracy operations off the coast of Somalia.
7. French Navy
Having originated in 1624, the French Navy is among the oldest naval power with seaworthy vessels continually. Historically a military branch full of innovation, including the first Seaplane Carrier in the First World War, France has continued to revise their forces over the centuries to maintain itself as one of the foremost powers in the open ocean. Currently holding 68 vessels to their name, the French Navy contains a fairly even mix of Patrol Boats and Frigates, with 10 Submarines also present among the force.
6. The Royal Navy of the United Kingdom
A rival for the oldest navy on this list, the forces of the United Kingdom have been setting sail since 1660. It is also the only one on this group to still have a Ship-Of-The-Line stated as being in commission. The HMS Victory sporting 104 cannons and first launched in 1765, though still technically registered under the navy as ready to sail in defense of the crown, is most likely permanently dry docked for historical purposes. Its 82 younger counterparts however, including 11 Submarines and 13 Frigates, are mostly state of the art. These ships have been used globally, from the Suez Canal to patrolling around the Falkland Islands, and in multiple NATO deployments. As a result, the sun never truly sets on the Royal Navy.
