How soon Indian Navy becomes Blue Water Navy?

[PoKeMon]

Indian shore waters had already turned so much muddy and ****** that it would take decades to clear them up. Blue water is distant possibility.

 

[Thorough Pro]

That useless force which couldn't protect it's sailors from rag tag somali pirates, aint gonna make much difference whether it becomes blue ocean navy or "below" ocean navy.

To Indian sailors, whenever you need protection from Pirates, please do not hesitate to call Pakistan Navy for help.

 

[Abingdonboy]

From 2014 onwards, IN can call themselves a true Bluewater navy.

By 2017 with 2 Aircraft carriers + arihants + akula + scorpene submarines etc. etc.

how soon do you expect Indian navy become a blue water navy???

ANS: When they'll learn how to swim.

Look who is saying. Last i heard that Saddam made you all swim in desert till the US came to take you all for a ride

 

[Obambam]

by the same logic, no country needs a blue water navy, just that every country wants one. Holler me when China gives up that ambition. Till then Crawl into your Rat HOLE.

Now that is rich coming from an India. One very frustrated and angry little man you are

Now what is a blue water navy ?? btw funny name .

The term blue-water navy is a colloquialism used to describe a maritime force capable of operating across the deep waters of open oceans.[1] While what actually constitutes such a force remains undefined, there is a requirement for the ability to exercise sea control at wide ranges.

India is green water navy

A Green-Water Navy is a naval term that refers to a naval force whose power projection capability is regional in nature.[1] This is a relatively new terminology, as earlier non blue-water navies used to be collectively referred to as brown-water navy.

[edit] Russian Navy

In the Cold War era the Soviet Navy (1917-1991) was an equal competitor to the United States Navy. After the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, its name changed to Russian Navy and the fleet experienced a rapid deterioration due to lack of financing. The present status of Russian Navy is controversial: fleet is reported to have 300 ships, but less than half are operational. Of 11 ICBM submarines, only 2 are reported to be in immediate combat readiness[4]. Russian Navy is planned to undergo an extensive rearmament program in 2011-2020.

[edit]Spanish Navy
The Spanish Navy one of the oldest active naval forces in the world. The Spanish Navy was the most powerful maritime force in the world in the 16th and early 17th centuries. After a gradual decline in the second half of the 17th century, becoming almost inoperative at the beginning of the 18th, the revival started and by the later half of 18th century it became the third strongest in the world. Since the mid-20th century the Spanish Navy began a process of reorganization that leads her back to become one of the major navies of the world.

Then what should we call a force which couldnt save its army and couldnt even detect a helicopter .btw i never heard of below water navy, is it PN which let terrorists destroy a huge plane in its own base ?
No offense .

I dont know why mods had left this post which is the cause of troll resulting in deletion of preceeding posts .

isnt india a blue navy already with aircraft carrier and a nuclear submarine...

In modern warfare, the term blue-water navy implies self-contained force protection from sub-surface, surface and airborne threats and a sustainable logistic reach, allowing a persistent presence at range.

Indian navy already has a carrier, but is not able to fully protect and supply it at long distance and endurrance missions. Having a carrier alone isn't enough here, you need a capable CBG, tankers and vessels to guarantee protection and constant supplies. That's where IN lags behind at the moment, however there are a lot of improvements planned and it's actually not the new carriers that makes IN a Blue Water navy, but the new tankers, SSNs, Destroyers and Frigats that are already coming in. When the Russians finally provide us the carrier and the SSN, IN actually will have everything to operate like that.
