Navy official says Vizag will see an international naval fleet 2016. Work for navy fleet has not started.
And vizag ( beach road) is facing sea surge..Because of this compound wall of ins kursura museum has collapsed. Hud-Hud cyclone took away glory of war memorial....nothing has left behind
In one sentence I say RK beach ( venue for fleet) is a mess.

wow,
2 aircraft carriers,20 submarines,more than 40 ships,p8-poseidon base and helicopter base.

You do realize this is going to put INS vajrakosh in the crosshairs for any Pakistani or Chinese BM strike.

Don't worry they will have some ABM assets with them.

Only if they want to be nuked out of existence. Same goes for Hainan base.

India Seeks Global Tranfer of Technology To Build MCMV
Sunday, September 27, 2015

INS Kozhikode - Indian Navy's Pondicherry Class Mine-Sweepers which is due for replacement Goa Shipyard Limited has bagged a large order for building 12 vessels valued at ₹32,000 crore
NEW DELHI — India's Goa Shipyard Ltd. (GSL) is looking for international companies with the technology the state-owned company needs to build 12 mine countermeasures vessels (MCMVs) for the Indian Navy.


GSL, which was awarded the $5 billion noncompetitive contract in 2014, has floated a global expression of interest (EOI) from companies willing to transfer the technology to build the vessels to the Indian shipyard.

Such a move could push the cost of building the ships in India higher compared with those built overseas, analysts here said, but the absorption of the technology would, in the long run, allow India to build more MCMVs.

A GSL executive said the company hopes for a good response to get the technology it needs from overseas. The EOI was sent to South Korea's Kangnam, Italy's Intermarine, Spain's Navantia, US-based Lockheed Martin, Germany's Thyssenkrupp and two Russian shipyards, he said.

GSL will short-list foreign shipyards with capability for design and construction of a single-skin, non-stiffened structure for the MCMV. A formal tender to the short-listed companies will follow, the GSL executive said.

The value of the transfer of technology contract is more than $1 billion, or about 20 percent of the total value of the contract, an Indian Navy official said.
Last year, the Ministry of Defense canceled a 2008 global tender in which Kangnam had emerged as the winner because of the South Korean company's alleged use of defense agents in pursuing the deal, which overseas defense companies are not allowed to do under Indian law.
Kangnam, however, appears to be staging a re-entry for the new technology transfer contract, analysts said.

"Kangnam have already invested time and effort and would be ready with the details," said Shyam Kumar Singh, a retired Indian navy captain. "As far as Intermarine of Italy is concerned, they have to compete with Kangnam, which is already ahead."
While the MCMV acquisition is delayed due to cancellation of the original tender and the GSL contract award, analysts say the absorption of technology would help in building more vessels in the future.

"Minesweepers or mine countermeasure vessels are very sophisticated technology products," said Sujeet Samaddar, a retired Indian Navy commodore. "Including hull material, acoustic and magnetic reduced signatures, mine-hunting sonars and remotely piloted vehicles, and also the design methodology are not easy. That said, it is not undoable in India, but that is like reinventing the wheel."

Anil Jai Singh, a retired Indian Navy commodore, said building the MCMV may not be exceedingly expensive. "More important will be the development of an indigenous capability to build a specialized vessel," he said. "On the choice of hull, the Navy must have taken an informed decision."

The Navy wants 800- to 1,000-ton vessels with composite anti-magnetic hulls that can clear sea mines laid by enemy warships, submarines and aircraft to blockade harbors during war, the Navy official said, and will aquire 24 such vessels over the next decade. The construction of the first vessel is expected to begin in April 2018, with deliveries to be completed between April 2021 and April 2026.

Currently the Indian Navy operates six to seven Soviet-built minesweepers bought in the late 1970s

India would be building an MCMV for the first time in a state-owned shipyard that was awarded the contract without competition, or through nomination, Samaddar said, noting that "nomination is always a bad idea, and the MoD has repeatedly said it will not nominate but continues to do so."

why indian navy flag includes england flag ???

The Indian navy from 1950 to 2001 used a modified version of the British Naval jack, with the Union flag replaced with the Indian Tricolor in the canton. In 2001, this flag was replaced with a white ensign bearing the Indian Navy crest, as the previous ensign was thought to reflect India's colonial past.

lol to this what bs reason they gave to put St. George's cross back,
However complaints arose that the new ensign was indistinguishable as the blue of the naval crest easily merged with the sky and the ocean. Hence in 2004, the ensign was changed back to the St. George's cross design, with the addition of the emblem of India in the intersection of the cross. In 2014, the ensign as well as the naval crest was further modified to include the Devanagari script: सत्यमेव जयते (Satyameva Jayate) which means 'Truth Alone Triumphs' in Sanskrit.

why they did not thought about some other design instead putting back St. George's cross,

this is england flag, St George's Cross

this was indian navy flag from 1950 - 2001,

it was changed in 2001 when atalji's govt. was in power,
indian navy flag 2001 - 2004,

2004 bjp was out of govt. and corrupt khangressi was back in power,
and in same year 2004 indian navy flag changed again,
indian navy flag 2004 - 2014,

they changed it as christain madamji grabbed indian govt.
why St George's Cross was put back again with little change ???
why they had to change it again ???

indian navy flag 2014 - ,

what is the point in getting all these powerful ships if india cannot throw away its colonial mind set and symbols.

good IN video with many rare clips
watch around 1.59 for a shot of the erstwhile PT-76 light tanks in an amphibious landing and around 3 minutes for a helicopter torpedo launch, numerous styx launches and goa launches depicted as well.

Navy's Long Range Maritime Patrol Aircraft- Boeing P-8I- Dedicated to the Nation


http://www.business-standard.com/ar...aft-boeing-p-8i-dedicated-115111300438_1.html

The P-8I aircraft is equipped for long range anti submarine warfare, anti -surface warfare, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance in support of broad area, maritime and littoral operations. Its communication and sensor suite includes indigenous equipment developed by defence PSUs and private manufacturers. With its high speed and high endurance of about 10 hours, the aircraft is capable of thrusting a punitive response and maintaining a watch over India's immediate and extended areas of interest.

But those tanks are old and obselete....Navy don't have enough toys at andaman & nicobar..thats why china got balls to move very close to it.There are many loop holes in our defence.
Be it army or navy or airforce.

exactly we need 5 to 6 carrier battle gorups, 5 to 6 division of marines and whole lot of support infra. by 2030.

India is a Natural Maritime power. Oceans and seas are our strength.

1) We need a Nuclear cruisers of atleast 10 K tons.
2) Atleast 5 to 6 Aircraft carrier battle groups.
3) 5 to 6 Marine divisions.
4) 4 or more Amphibious assault ships.
5) Fleeet tankers.
6) 5 th gen carrier based fighter jets.
7) Good radar and sonar network in IOR plus military bases in all strategic Islands in IOR.

 

[NLD]

As a new cruiser design is being made…is their any chances of having a small runway on it to house uav/ucav in small quantity may be some 10 of them.
If yes i think we can have some 3-4 carriers in total and have some nuclear cruiser in place of carriers.
So may be the operational cost go down compared to AC.
Even their will be a chance of having greater reach.
Is it possible?????????
