Book Release - ‘Blue Waters Ahoy!’ Chronicling the Indian Navy’s History from 2001-10

Admiral Sunil Lanba, PVSM, AVSM, ADC Chief of the Naval Staff, released a book titled ‘Blue Waters Ahoy!’ – chronicling the Indian Navy’s History from 2001-10. The unveiling was a part of an At Home function held at the Navy House in the presence of His Excellency, Sh. Ramnath Kovind, the President of India and the Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces. A large number of dignitaries from both India and abroad were present at the function. The Indian Navy celebrates Navy Day every year on 04 December 2018 to commemorate its offensive actions during the 1971 war.

The book has been authored by Vice Admiral Anup Singh, who retired as the Flag Officer Commanding-in-Chief of Eastern Naval Command in 2011. This is, in fact, the sixth volume of the Navy’s history; the first five having covered the period from 1945 to 2000. This unique undertaking by the Indian Navy can be traced back to 1968, when the Service established a History Cell. The idea was collation and subsequent analysis of historical data relevant to the evolution of the Navy. Generally, each such volume has covered the period of a decade, and it has been a tradition to release it on the occasion of Navy Day.

Indian Navy could follow suit the German. The capability to deliver Nuclear Payload, Super Hornet could give IN a better chance at war. https://www.globaldefensecorp.com/2...f-a-18-super-hornet-to-replace-aging-tornado/

There is a high possibility IN might go with the Rafale-M to maintain commonality and uniformity with IAF provided airforce decides to order more. This would help reduce the overall per unit cost and easier in terms of spares and maintenance.

Since IN is only looking for 54 jets (for IAC-3) or fewer, ordering the F-18 would be prove to be a logistical nightmare with too many platforms in our inventory

You already have too many platforms. You will be decommissioning MiG-21 and some MiG-29. The MiG-29K is grounded for lack of spare parts. What are you trying to achieve can only be achieved through acquisition of Western Platforms not with Ruski junk.

No one here said we'd go for more Russian jets and exactly why I emphasized on the Rafale-M

I was making a point that Super Hornet is half the cost of Rafale-M. Super Hornet can deliver Nuclear payloads which you have. Super Hornet can carry more AMRAAM, GBUs and Stand off weapons than anything you have. American platforms carry quad rack and triple rack AMRAAM and bombs.

IN can get F/A-18 Growler as well.

It's time for Indian Navy to select Super Hornet.

Indian tax payers must take notice of Russian junk. Indian lost another Mig-29K.

No.
The dry price of the Rafale M, without VAT and OFFSET is 65 €million. The SH18 is not a 32 million plane !

Rafale can carry Meteor, with a NEZ 300% more important than AMRAAM.
Rafale has a more important weapon load than SH18.

The sole real asset of SH18 is : the diversity of the weapons available, unmatched (as all US plane).
