Accha? Aisa kya?

Hopefully, if Adm Hari Kumar becomes the next CDS, there would be a greater focus on beefing up IN.

No chance he will be 62 when he retires

Well the USN did come to our rescue in 1962 and 1971, so fair point.

Honestly, no clue, I just heard rumors on Twitter I wanted to believe.

Did someone said 71

Neah, its just the attitude of some of our Politicians, not that it means USN will come to our rescue.

Since I did forget to put " /s ", Mea Culpa.

If he is appointed before he is 62, he can serve as CDS for 3 years. 65 or 3 years is the CDS post limit. He is 60 as of now.

Indian Navy has questions on China’s new aircraft carrier Fujian

While the US Navy is still struggling to bring electromagnetic aircraft launch system (EMALS) onboard nuclear powered supercarrier Gerald Ford at par after five years of operations, questions are being raised on how the PLAN will operate EMALS onboard steam powered Fujian.

Are they making sense bcoz I think they do

I believe it uses turbines, not steam engines! What's wrong with these people. Infact, nuclear power plants use steam for heat transfer. We just don't know how good their EMALS is, that's all.

it uses capacitor bank discharge or something.

Chinese are claiming their version is more advanced than fords.

they also mounted a rail gun on a ship and was claiming to have a working prototype. best to take everything they say with 1 ton of salt.

That's because Thermal Power does'nt equal to the actual Electricity generation of the ship. And the use of conventional gas turbines can be precluded because the Chinese haven't made any large Marine Gas Turbines or aeroderivative Marine Gas turbines of their own (their Aero Engine industry is itself a nascent one) and their largest ones are copies or reverse-engineered versions of Ukrainian designs such as the DT-59 and UGT-25000 both of which while sufficient to propel a Frigate, Destroyer or even a Cruiser are insufficient for a 85000t CV.

I do not believe this is the CIC - this is not how work stations are laid out in CIC of any ship. Plus, there are no chairs. Operators don't stand around in the CIC, only the chiefs of departments/XO does.

This appears to be a room for monitoring & operation of machinery, integrated platform management or propulsion control. The consoles are probably related to that.
