India’s only nuclear submarine damaged in accident

[satishkumarcsc]

Hindi is the national language of India and by the way you are representing India in an international forum. Not in your village so please and also don't tell me that English is your mother tongue because US loves India.

Hindi is not the national Language of India. Period.

[QUOTE:Taimoor Khan, post: 9917166, member: 174769"]PNS Moawin is a replenishment ship. While Indian Navy got the distinction of blowing up their strategic assets in accidents. Ofcourse accidents on assets like nuclear submarine is no issue in Indian Navy, but for the rest of the world, it has full potential to become a environmental hazard for the region.

PNS moawin fire saw 53 fatalities which is more than all fatalities in all Indian Navy accidents combined 2005 onwards.

BTW scrapping of a sonar dome is a minor accident and possess zero environmental risks.
We have had far more serious incidents involving US & UK nuke subs just last year.[/QUOTE]

The list is long. Enjoy the read.

US and UK are major Naval powers, they operate big fleet of subs. If India cannot safely handle a single nuclear propulsion sub, then its shows incompetency. What happened to Sindhuratna is another feather in Indian Navy cap.

Not a matter to laugh..it could have been serious and deadly for entire region...

How?? It would not have been an issue if god forbids Akula was right on the ocean bed...

This submarine is not Indian, its leased for 10 years and has to do a salmon run, in a same condition she came in.
India has to spend $ to do repair on this complex job. Sonar is eyes & ears of any submarine. Russian specialists would fly in.

India has to shell out more, beside the downtime involved.

Sorry state of affairs.

See what I said.

Russian team in Vizag to inspect damaged submarine

Sources say nuclear reactor on INS Chakra is intact; Russia not fully convinced of Indian findings


A Russian technical team is in Vizag for a joint investigation into the mysterious damage suffered by INS Chakra, the nuclear submarine leased to India in 2011, a diplomatic source has confirmed.

Details available from an official Indian inquiry show that the damage to the submarine is far bigger than what has been known in public. The sonar dome in the forward portion has suffered an almost five-feet by five-feet hole, according to reliable information from the Ministry of Defence sources. Two separate sources, from the Russian and Indian side, separately confirmed to The Hindu that the damage to the submarine was not very serious, and did not impact the nuclear reactor, because it was all contained to the outer hull.

The Russian team arrived in India after they refused to be satisfied with the findings of a three-member Indian team’s official inquiry. Sources said the team had placed the damage primarily on technical issues. There has been speculation that the damage was caused by a minor accident while INS Chakra was on the move.

Russia, which leased the submarine to India for a 10-year period in 2011 for over $600 million, sent a formal message a few days ago to New Delhi that it was not fully convinced with the Indian findings.

Russia then suggested that technical experts from their side be allowed access to examine the submarine which had been docked for the past several weeks in the submarine base INS Virbahu in Visakhapatnam.

Sources said the investigations by the joint team would be filed to both New Delhi and Moscow. For now, Russian sources indicate that the damage is not serious. “But we will have to wait for the final report before moving forward,” one Russian official said.

India is already engaged in negotiations for the second nuclear submarine from Russia, which could join service when INS Chakra returns after its 10-year lease.

Speculation on accident

There have been much speculation surrounding the accident suffered by the submarine, with some reports saying it may have met with an accident while negotiating the narrow channel to enter the harbour. The submarine had suffered a major accident in 2008, while undergoing sea trials.

The Akula class submarine is an SSN, and is to provide escort to INS Arihant, the indigenously constructed ballistic missile submarine that would carry nuclear missiles.

India should inquire about Virginia Class block III's

They could experience crashing and fcuking up American made subs as opposed to Russian made

A Russian team has reportedly set out to ascertain the cause of the damage to the submarine, as they were not convinced by the findings of the three-member Indian inspection team. The submarine, which was leased from Russia, has been lying idle since August after it was partially damaged in an accident.


New Delhi – Almost two months after India’s nuclear submarine INS Chakra suffered damage, a Russian technical team arrived at the eastern naval command at the southern city of Vizag to assess the ship's status. The investigation conducted by an Indian team has reported far more extensive damage than what the public knows.
