May it never see combat.

Laid down in 2008? Pathetic. The Burkes, by comparison, take no more than 2 years to build.

Photon torpedoes?

Pretty sure. One knot is one nautical mile per hour. Going 30 knots an hour would mean doing 30 nautical miles an hour an hour, which is obviously wrong.

Good news. "Knots per hour" is wrong, though. Knot is a unit for speed, not for distance.

This is ridiculous. You can fight rape without drastically curtailing people's civil liberties.

1. Now that I think of it, Singapore is another example of a competent semi-dictatorship, but in the main dictatorship pretty much invariably results in corruption, bad government and oppression, as those in power are not held acccountable by the populace. 2. Still better than sham "elections"...

I don't think I've heard of a single dictatorship that hasn't resorted to censorship, intimidation or repression. It's what's necessary to maintain a monopoly on power. We have the liberty to choose our leaders, to speak freely through any medium without fear of inprisonment or execution...

Liberty is not, and never will be, outdated. The very fact that you can debate this without fear proves it.

You'd think they'd know better then to idolize a guy whose policies killed tens of millions.

If France and Germany went from bitter foes to close allies in 10 years I see no reason India and Pakistan can't do the same. If nothing else, start with cultural matters. I'm sure both sides would agree that promoting their shared history would be beneficial.

Nuclear certainly has problems, but it's far better than the Indian alternative, coal, which has killed and continues to kill far more than nuclear plants ever have, and emits more radiation to boot (did you know coal has trace amounts of uranium? When you're burning millions of tons it adds...

The phoenix and the wolf.

So were France and Germany, and we all know how that turned out, don't we? :) Honestly, people, jingoistic dickwaving is never cool.

...With an army that made a sport out of cruelly murdering Indian, Chinese and Singaporean civillians and prisoners of war. If you believe any "Free India" would be any more like a Japanese exploitation colony in all but name like the rest of the "free countries" in the Co-Prosperity Sphere...

The average Indian hacker ;)

.....But we will arm Mr Assad? Indians, you're an actual democracy, try t odistance yourselves from Putin and his regime. You're too reliant on Russian arms as it is.

It would take over the world, of course.

This isn't news - carriers need to be refitted on a regular basis. One of the US Navy's c.10 carriers in pretty much always in a mid-life refit.
