I was trying to explain to one Bharti poster here why Bangladeshi yards build way better boats than that langoti colonial-era yard across the border (GRSE). He didn't get my point.....
Yeah sure, 'better boats'-tugs & coastal survey vessels.
Make sure you make it look like a big deal, just like how you portray 10,000 bikes an year walton as some auto giant.
Billu, several shipyards in India including small ones such as Tebma build boats to Damen design.
For the Indian Navy, there is always their own Directorate of Naval Design which presently handle larger projects such as Destroyers, Submarines & Frigates.
In addition we have many marine design houses as well as in-house design centers of yards such as L&T. These will design smaller vessels such as NGMV/NGC as for now.
The upcoming MRIS being built at HSL (yard no VC11184) designed by Vik Sandvik India or L&T's CGOPV are good examples for their capabilities.
GRSE is presently now building three Project 17A stealth frigates, which is enough proof for their capabilities.
What is your world class yards building anyway ? What happened to the plans for building C13B Corvette in Bangladesh-which is neither a Bangladeshi nor a Damen design ?
