Indian Navy's 10 mishaps in last seven months

[Zarvan]

New Delhi: Navy Chief Admiral DK Joshi has resigned after an accident onboard submarine INS Sindhuratna off Mumbai coast early on Wednesday. This was the 10th mishap involving an Indian Navy warship in the last seven months.
FOLLOWING ARE THE 10 RECENT MISHAPS INVOLVING INDIAN NAY WARSHIPS:

1. 18 sailors die after explosion, fire on submarine INS Sindhurakshak (August 14, 2013): A huge explosion and fire destroyed India's most advanced diesel-electric submarine, the INS Sindhurakshak, which was docked at a high-security military dockyard in Mumbai. 18 sailors died were killed. The vessel tilted and sunk nose down.
   
   
2. Fire reported in India's only aircraft carrier INS Viraat (September, 2013): A minor fire broke out on India's only aircraft carrier INS Viraat off the coast of Mumbai. The INS Viraat is country's only aircraft carrier and is over 50 years old and has undergone several refurbishments to continue in service.
   
   
3. Fire breaks out on INS Konkan, no casualties (December 4, 2013): A fire broke out on INS Konkan at the dry dock at Visakhapatnam, causing major damage to its interiors.
   
   
4. Fishing trawler collides with INS Talwar, sinks (December 23, 2013): A unlit fishing trawler sank after it collided with the Navy's INS Talwar at night near Ratnagiri in Maharashtra. Four people, who were on board the trawler, suffered injuries.
   
   
5. Hole found in pillar compartment of INS Vipul (January 2014): After a hole was found in the pillar compartment of missile vessel INS Vipul, it was sent back for repairs. INS Vipul is a member of the elite 22nd Killer Missile Vessel Squadron of the navy.
   
   
6. Close shave for INS Sindhughosh; enters Mumbai harbour in low tide phase(January 17, 2014): The INS Sindhughosh, a Kilo Class submarine, had a close shave after it entered the Mumbai harbour in a low tide phase.
   
   
7. INS Betwa runs aground, suffers damage (January 22, 2014): Brahmaputra-class guided missile frigate INS Betwa had an underground collision with some unidentified object while on its way to the Mumbai naval base, leading to massive damage to the vessel.
   
   
8. INS Tarkash's hull damaged after collision with jetty (January, 2014): The Talwar-class frigate collided with a jetty while it was berthing at the naval base in Mumbai.
   
   
9. INS Airavat runs aground, propellers damaged (February 3, 2014):Amphibious warfare vessel INS Airavat ran aground while returning to its home base at Visakhapatnam, causing slight damage to its propellers. Following the incident, its commanding officer was stripped of his command duties.
   
   
10. Seven sailors hurt, two missing after accident on INS Sindhuratna (February 26, 2014): Seven sailors were injured and two officers are missing after an accident on board Indian Navy submarine INS Sindhuratna off the Mumbai coast. The INS Sindhuratna was being sea tested after a refit, about 40 to 50 km off the Mumbai coast when the smoke was detected. The senior-most submarine officer of the Western Naval Command was on board. The Russian-origin Kilo Class submarine was carrying no weapons or ammunition. Since it was still in testing mode, it had not been placed under operational command yet.

OK, so? Why are you getting so perturbed? You actually must be having a nice laugh - or probably just a smirk. I don't know, but what these accidents have got to do with you asking for comments from your Pakistani friends is amusing! Are they gonna advise the Indian Navy on adopting some new SOPs? Or how the IN should manage its fleet?

Your intent is clear as day Zarvan ji, and that is, to show the IN in poor light. Better luck next time!!

• 14 2013
  • 14.1 INS Sindhurakshak explosion and sinking
  • 14.2 Russian K-150 Tomsk fire

As regards nuclear subs thatwent down :

Eight nuclear submarines have sunk as a consequence of either accident or extensive damage: two from the United States Navy, four from the Soviet Navy, and two from the Russian Navy. Only three were lost with all hands: two from the United States Navy and one from the Russian Navy. All sank as a result of accident with the exception of K-27, which was scuttled in the Kara Sea when repair was deemed impossible and decommissioning too expensive. All of the Soviet/Russian submarines belonged to the Northern Fleet. Although the Soviet submarine K-129 (Golf II) carried nuclear ballistic missiles when it sank, it was a diesel-electric submarine.

Of the 8 sinkings, 2 were due to fires, 2 were due to explosions of weapons systems, 1 was due to flooding, 1 was weather-related, and 1 was sunk intentionally due to a damaged nuclear reactor. In 1 case, the cause of sinking is unknown. All of the subs are in the Northern Hemisphere, and there are none in either the Indian or Pacific Oceans.

That being said, All the other forces are NOT the Indian Navy. Nor are the responsible for the safety of the IN sailors and officers. So this is basically irrelevant.

I wonder if you read the 1st line of my post .
A poster is replicating news from an Indian source, all I was pointing out that accidents happen in war machines world wide.

I did, which is exactly why I made the most regarding Indian submarine accidents. its the same ideal of saying that murders happen worldwide or kids die all over. As a gauge it is useful. .but not as a benchmark.
Indian submarine accidents are preventable by IN personnel. Especially subs that were recently overhauled. Ensuring QA in both upgrades and maintenance is the responsibility of staff to ensure the safety of the men serving under them.

Preventable, yes. But you must remember that these subs are over 25 years old. And subs do have a far shorter operational life than surface ships.

An old woman can keep applying lipstick and put three inches of make-up and butox for sagging boobs, but she'll never be the same as what she was as a teenager!

But she can get regular checkups.. have her vitamins.. get screened for cancer.. and so on. That will give her greater health than many of her compatriots.. her neglect will lead her to go up in flames

I have the impression that indian navy is operating a much smaller fleet than USA and Russia
So the list is not useful unless you have the sizes of the fleet to be taken into account
