Well this is what happens when you start show boating (No Pun Intended)...with fake sea chases, fake encounters....and start giving fake medals.

Sad state of affairs especially since IN was a fairly professional force and has made the most intelligent procurement decisions out of all three services. Points to the same cultural + leadership issue I referred to in the other thread.

Three Navy personnel were killed and 11 injured in an explosion on board the ageing destroyer INS Ranvir at the Naval Dockyard in Mumbai Tuesday.

The deceased have been identified as Krishan Kumar MCPO I, Surinder Kumar MCPO II and AK Singh MCPO II.
The Navy conveyed its condolences to the families of those killed in a statement issued on Wednesday. “Adm R Hari Kumar, CNS and all personnel of Indian Navy extend heartfelt condolences to the families of Krishan Kumar MCPO I, Surinder Kumar MCPO II & AK Singh MCPO II, who succumbed to injuries caused by the unfortunate incident onboard INS Ranvir on 18 Jan 22. We fully stand by with the families in this difficult time,” it said.
The Navy has on Tuesday said that “no major material damage has been reported” and a board of inquiry has been instituted into the incident. INS Ranvir, among the oldest warships in the Navy, is a Soviet-era destroyer and was commissioned in April 1986.
The fourth destroyer of the Rajput class, it is the first of the Ranvir class. The other Ranvir class destroyer is INS Ranvijay.

In a statement, the Navy said: “In an unfortunate incident today at Naval Dockyard Mumbai, three naval personnel succumbed to injuries caused by an explosion in an internal compartment on board INS Ranvir.”

The ship’s crew, it said, responded immediately and the situation was quickly brought under control. “No major material damage has been reported,” it said.

The explosion took place between 4.30 and 5 pm while the ship was docked.

The Navy said INS Ranvir was “on cross coast operational deployment from the Eastern Naval Command” since November 2021 and was due to return to base port shortly.


Sources said the three personnel who died were all senior sailors but not officers. The Navy is in the process of reaching out to the families of the dead, and will release their names and details thereafter.

The explosion, sources said, had nothing to do with ammunition or weapons.

A senior officer said the explosion took place in an AC compartment and the three who died were in a compartment above it.

This is the first major incident since June 2019 when a worker died in a fire on board the then under-construction Visakhapatnam destroyer at Mazagon dockyard.

Not only are Indian ships always stuck in port (their carrier Vikramaditya has not gone to sea in 14 months), Indians still die when their vessels are berthed and doing nothing. Horrible.

RIP.
It's a 36 year old destroyer that will be decommissioned soon, so not a major issue.

You might as well add this as well.
And there are over a billion Indians.
A few dead can soon be replaced as well.

Then why were there people on it? Could have saved lives by junking it sooner.

Are you guys going to junk your carrier, the Vikramaditya? That thing's been in port for 14th straight months and had only been to sea two weeks in three years.

I think PN should cancel all their future procurements, I mean IN is doing a good job itself

The AC is the pride of India, and ensures a superpower status. Can hardly be scrapped.
