Karwar: Navy Trials in Netrani near Murudeshwar Opposed



Karwar, Sep 12: The Western Ghats Task Force has requested Chief Minister B S Yeddurappa not to permit Indian Navy to conduct its trials in Netrani Island near Murdeshwar here.

In a letter to the Chief Minister, Task force chairman Ananth Hegde Ashisara has stated that Navy, without the State’s permission, has been conducting bomb trials without giving prior information to the local residents.

“The island has been declared as a biodiversity hot spot by the Karnataka Biodiversity Board declaring it as Natural Heritage Site. The government must write to union defence minister not to allow Navy to carry on any of its activities in the island,” Hegde said in the letter.

“Uttar Kannada district has 148 km of coast from Karwar to Bhatkal. Already 23 km is already under the control of Navy. If Netrani too goes into the hands of Navy, then it would amount to giving the entire Karwar to Navy. The island is not only fishermen’s paradise, but also a sacred place for them,” Hegde stated.

3 sailors arrested for ‘molestation’


Three sailors of the Indian Navy allegedly got drunk, molested a group of moviegoers and were arrested early Sunday after Colaba policemen in a patrol van heard the alleged victims’ cries for help.

The Navy men, who are with INS Pralaya, also allegedly assaulted some policemen in the patrol van before they could be subdued and arrested. “The incident occurred late on Saturday night. A group of three girls and two boys had come out of Regal Theatre after a late-night show. The three Navy men, Animesh Thakur, 26, Bhagat Singh, 26, and Gangadhar Kushawa, 28, who were passing by, started passing vulgar comments,” Assistant CP (Colaba) Iqbal Shaikh said.

The group went to an ATM but the Navy men allegedly followed them and started groping the girls, leading to a quarrel with the two boys in the group. The policemen in the patrol van, alerted by the noise, reached the spot. “When the policemen tried to intervene, the three assaulted them. The policemen managed to overpower them and brought them to the Colaba police station where they were charged with outraging the modesty of a woman and assaulting a public servant in the course of performing duty. Officials found the three were under the influence of alcohol,” said Shaikh.

Gorshkov Aircraft Carrier Cost India $2.33 Billion: Navy
NEW DELHI | SEP 15, 2010

Admiral Gorshkov aircraft carrier bought from Russia finally cost India $ 2.33 billion, out of which $ 29 million was paid toward services rendered by Indian specialists and another $ 85 million for repair technical documentation.

India had early this year agreed to pay $ 2.33 billion, over three times the $ 974 million it had signed a contract for the 45,000-tonne warship in 2004, after a three-year negotiation.

"The $ 29 million was paid for stationing 40-odd Indian Navy personnel in Russia for over five years since 2004 to assist, monitor and work on the repair and re-equipping of Gorshkov," a Navy officer said here today.

"The $ 85 million for repair technical documentation was for buying all detailed charts, diagrams and instructions for the machinery and equipment that are on-board Gorshkov," the officer said.

The technical documentation was bought as a complete set right away because Gorshkov, rechristened INS Vikramaditya would be the only warship of its class that India was buying from Russia. Its delivery is scheduled for end of 2012.

"With these documents, India can carry on with repair and maintenance of the warship within India independently without having to send the aircraft carrier back to Russia, as we do in the case of Kilo class submarines," he said.

The documentation cost would be much lower than the maintenance and repair cost of the warship if it had to go to Russia for the purpose, leave alone the cost of sailing there and returning to India, he added.

INS Kochi Inauguration

Kochi: Indian Navy’s latest state-of-the-art destroyer INS Kochi was on Friday inaugurated by Madhulika Verma, wife of Chief of the Naval Staff Admiral Nirmal Verma.

Kochi is the second of three Project 15-A Kolkata class stealth destroyers. The first vessel, INS Kolkata, launched earlier, is expected to join the fleet in 2010, followed by INS Kochi in 2011 and the third, as yet unnamed, in May 2012.

The 6500-ton ship, indigenously designed by the Directorate of Naval Design, will boost the Indian Navy’s maritime capabilities and safeguard country’s interests.

It is being built by Mazagon Docks Ltd in Mumbai.


The ship would advanced stealth features, making it less vulnerable to detection by enemy radar. It will be fitted with state-of-the-art weapon systems which include the supersonic BrahMos surface-to-surface missile, the LRSAM Long Range Surface-to-Air Missiles and the MFStar multi-function radar system providing accurate data on surface and air targets.

In addition, four AK-630 rapid-fire guns and a medium range gun will boost the ship's close-range defence capability.

The ships will also be fitted with indigenously developed twin-tube torpedo launchers and anti-submarine rocket launchers.

The NPOL developed Humsa-NG hull-mounted sonar, and two multi-role helicopters adding punch to the ship's anti-submarine capability. The maximum speed of the ship is above 30 Knots.

The destroyer will be launched using the pontoon-assisted launch technique, to be employed for the first time in the history of indigenous warship building.

This technique helps in overcoming slipway/ draft constraints and permits launching of heavier vessels.
