I wonder what's the significance behind naming two Naval ships after 2 small towns in coastal Karnataka.4th one is Malpe
5th one is Mulki
They are Tulunadu towns near Mangaluru & Udupi. Though part of Karnataka, people there speak Tulu majorly and have distinct culture. Kantara movie is based on this regionI wonder what's the significance behind naming two Naval ships after 2 small towns in coastal Karnataka.
Yeah , thanks for the edification. However , my question was why ?They are Tulunadu towns near Mangaluru & Udupi. Though part of Karnataka, people there speak Tulu majorly and have distinct culture. Kantara movie is based on this region
There were 2 ships of the same names before which were decommissioned. So, probably new ships were given that place.Yeah , thanks for the edification. However , my question was why ?
Disagree with you. All of India's conflicts with China occurred on land and we cannot afford to lose territory to China. So Army gets the priority. They guard the border against PLA on a daily basis in very grueling conditions.View attachment 232043

Fujian is ready for trial looks like it
and PLAN’s 4th type 075 LHD is also getting ready to be launched while we keep focusing on the army wtf is wrong with our policy makers making the same mistake for the last 70 years we need to go all in on the navy and airforce , the army should not be the priority in this decade

That’s the whole point of the Chinese they keep pressuring us on land so we don’t become a naval power , complete emotional thinking for 70 years , they kept us on land while they built a navy , the army can’t win the land back anyways , we keep investing on the army while we lose the ocean theater is complete backward thinking , no great power in history has existed without being a great naval power and rn we are navy smaller than South Korea and JapanDisagree with you.

The Army and the Air Force will always be given the priority over the Navy, it is inevitable given the threat situation we're in. Besides, PLAN is unlikely to play any significant role during future hostilities due to the sheer distances involved and also, in no small part that they will have got three very large and hostile navies to contend with.That’s the whole point of the Chinese they keep pressuring us on land so we don’t become a naval power , complete emotional thinking for 70 years , they kept us on land while they built a navy , the army can’t win the land back anyways , we keep investing on the army while we lose the ocean theater is complete backward thinking , no great power in history has existed without being a great naval power and rn we are navy smaller than South Korea and Japan
Samskrit words are common enough in 90% of all bharatiya bhashas. So this is an invalid excuseYaar look at it this way - English is considered to be an aspirational achievement, in all practicality.
Officers will be going around as leftenant and commander and your sailor be Navik instead of Leading Seaman.
Second point, I am an Odia, i dont get hindi as well as English - though it is rather close to sanskrit and thus familiar.
Your vast majority of sailors are Malyali, Tamil, Kannada, Odias
Ghanta samjhenge ranks.
The English ranks were common sensical. the name told you what their qualifications were shouldnt have been touched
Yes, should have changed all....would have caused xtreme burn among mentally colonized anglophilesTo fir toh Officer ranks ko pahle change karna tha na?? This will only serve to widen the already existing gap between the officer class and the enlisted.
LAC was on back burner up until 2015, very little time and money was spent on china border until then. IN on the other hand has been continuing with their future plans for a few decades now. focus on land did not effect the focus on seas.That’s the whole point of the Chinese they keep pressuring us on land so we don’t become a naval power , complete emotional thinking for 70 years , they kept us on land while they built a navy , the army can’t win the land back anyways , we keep investing on the army while we lose the ocean theater is complete backward thinking , no great power in history has existed without being a great naval power and rn we are navy smaller than South Korea and Japan
Brozzer I'd tell you what's expensive - If the project is delivered on time within those 20,000 crs , which I very much doubt & not so much the former as the latter. That's what I call expensive.3 Kalvari submarines for 20,000 crore ..
Seems quite expensive.
I did some reading on this, and this is what i found out.I was recently looking into heavyweight torpedoes and I noticed that mostly navies don't use ship-launched heavyweight torpedoes anymore.
Other navies have moved to a few lightweight torpedoes on deck(if any at all) and VL-ASROC since ship-launched torpedoes have too short a range to be useful in most situations.
Lightweight torpedoes are much lighter, much lower footprint on deck and leave more space for VLS cells while still being enough to sink a submarine.
Why are we still building ships with heavyweight torpedoes?
How does the Indian Navy expect to use ship-launched heavyweight torpedoes + RBU-6000 vs lightweight torpedoes + VL-ASROC in other navies?
