Navy, ICG corps to take lessons on maritime laws
Ahmedabad: Indian Navy and coast guard officials will now take lessons on laws of sea and maritime at the Gujarat National Law University for better understanding of the changing international scenario.
The first of its kind three-week certificate course commencing on March 03, 2013, would help officers acquire understanding on the issues and challenges in the major seafaring nations.
It will also help them get a broad overview of the law of sea regime and its importance in the 21st century for major maritime nations.
“The course will run from March 3 for three weeks in 2013,” GNLU director Bimal N Patel said.
“It is the first of its kind course for the Navy and India Coast Guard (ICG) officials,” he said.
“We will invite Judge Advocate General (JAG) Army and JAG Air Force to nominate few officers so all the integrated defence forces can enrich from the course by intensive participation and interactions,” Patel said.
The certificate course covering wide spectrum of maritime issues aims to help officers render their duties as legal advisor on concerning issues to the Navy and maritime institutions, operations and commanders at sea.
It will also make them understand the evolving developments in these fields and to provide theoretical and practical legal input to policy-making institutions and actors of navy and relevant governmental agencies, a university official said. “If we look at security in piracy then we shall be talking about International Humanitarian Law and International Human Rights Law during the course,” Patel said.
“It will enable our officers to handle any operation on the sea or coast after being equipped with knowledge of law, whenever there is convergence of private international or public international laws in maritime transportation,” he said.
During the course, the officers would identify and understand international maritime offences and applicable legal regime so as to effectively apply the knowledge in dealing with maritime offences, he said.
Also, they would understand the existing laws and procedures concerning mercantile traffic and collision incidents at sea so as to use in a comprehensive manner understanding of the collision liability issues in actual practice, Patel said.
The corps would understand and shall be able to provide application of maritime legislation and constabulary functions at sea, he said.
The officers will be scheduled to pay visit to public and private ports in Gujarat, ICG Headquarters, shipping companies, among others (as part of the course) on weekends or after the training session, a university official said.

Rescue of Indian submarines demonstrated at Naval exercise
Four Indian naval submarines, from both Sindhughosh (EKM) and Shishumar (HDW) classes, took part in the Indo-U.S. exercise, Indiaex-2012, held off Goa early this month where the compatibility of the submarine rescue system of the U.S. Navy with Indian Navy submarines was tested for the first time.
The fortnightly exercise, meant to demonstrate the rescue of personnel from a disabled submarine, held special significance for the Indian Navy, which operates an ageing fleet of submarines but does not have a Deep Submergence Rescue Vessel (DSRV) of its own.
During the sea phase of the exercise, the Submarine Rescue Diving and Recompression System (SRDRS) of the U.S. Navy’s Undersea Rescue Command was pressed into action to bring to safety Indian submariners holed up in Indian submarines simulating various distress scenarios. In all, four Indian submarines took the dive, one daily, during the mock-up.
Responding to the distress alert, a pressurised rescue module from the launch and recovery system fitted on board a non-military vessel was launched and manoeuvred to the required depth to mate with the forward hatches of the submarine in distress. Pressure inside the submarine and the rescue system was equalised before opening the hatch to effect the safe transfer of personnel.
The Indian submarines that took part in the exercise underwent minor modifications to be able to pair off with the pressurised module, which can secure up to two dozen personnel at a time.
INS Nireekshak, Indian Navy’s deep sea diving support vessel with an on-board submersible capsule called ‘Bell’, assisted in the conduct of the exercise providing safety back-up. It also documented the procedures key to developing interoperability with the U.S. Navy in submarine rescue operations.
Commander S.S. Sarna, Commanding Officer of Nireekshak that is based in the Southern Naval Command in Kochi, termed the interaction with the U.S. Navy in the niche field of submarine rescue a professionally satisfying experience.
While it has been toying with the idea of buying a couple of DSRVs for sometime now, the Indian Navy still has a lot of ground to cover in possessing a failsafe submarine rescue capability. At present, it relies a great deal on Russian-made pressurised escape suits in the Sindhughosh-class submarines and rescue spheres that can be punched out during trouble (as in fighter aircraft) in Shishumar-class submarines.
Nireekshak’s clearance divers operating out of ‘Bell’ could also be of help at limited depths.

Prototype MiG-29K Fighter Aircraft Being Tested In The Soviet Union
A prototype 'Fulcrum-D' undergoing flight tests from Aircraft Carrier Admiral Kuznetsov during the time of the Soviet Union.
At the end of its production run, the MiG Corporation would have successfully executed its contract to supply the Indian Navy with 45 Carrier-borne variants of the MiG-29 fighter aircraft. Of these, there would be 41 single-seat MiG-29K while the 4 twin-seat MiG-29KUB variant would make up rest of the Navy's inventory. While the first production variant of the aircraft took to air only in March 2008, the history of development of this variant dates much further back into Soviet Russia. With the collapse of the Soviet Union, the ensuing financial crisis meant the Russians could no longer afford to undertake simultaneous development of two carrier-borne aircrafts, under two different programmes. Thus, the Sukhoi Design Bureau's Su-33 fighter [Su-27K] was, eventually, chosen to equip its sole Aircraft Carrier, the Admiral Kuznetsov, and the MiG-29K/KUB programme was, for all practical purposes, mothballed.
Till the the Indian Navy evinced interest in it, that is. Thus, it wouldn't be completely off the mark to state that the Indian Navy effectively financed the completion of its development programme, that includes setting up/adaption of the production line with the tooling needed to make these birds for its own requirements. They are expected to serve as the frontline aircraft of the Indian Navy, operating off the Aircraft Carrier INS Vikramditya [Ex-Admiral Gorshkov], as well as the first indigenously developed Indian Aircraft Carrier [IAC-1 a.k.a INS Vikrant]. In fact, with the development now complete & production up & running, the Russians too have gone ahead & placed orders to acquire these aircrafts for its own Navy. While this could not be the sole reason, that fact that you have an aircraft whose development cycle has finished just recently & is considered to be potent platform, would surely have played some role in the buying decision.
A collection of pictures, below, shows an initial design iteration of the MiG-29K being put through its paces on-board the Kuznetsov in the 1991, prior to the demise of the U.S.S.R., much like the recent times.

Seems Vikrant (IAC-1) has come out of Dry Dock into the shore.
That happened long ago
