INS CHENNAI ALMOST READY FOR SEA TRAILS

[kaykay]

Only problem is numbers. By 2024 we will have only 10 Destroyers and 16 Frigates. Apart from 12 Karmorta class Big corvettes.

Divide them by 2 for two flanks. And see the problem.

Even if China commits its 1/4th fleet ,they will overwhelm us by numbers.

19 frigates if purchase of 3 more Talwar class went ahead. Anyway we don't need 5 AESA destroyers for PN. 2-3 AESA frigates( P-17A) along with few Talwars and Shivaliks will be enough for surface fleet.

What we do with retired ships? Training or target practice?

Sir if we are taking in account the future acquisitions of IN. Then why ignoring that of PN. Its not like they will be in the same positions 10 years from now on.

I don't think so all the Rajput class Destroyers will be retired by then

They will all exceed there 35 year life by 2019 . And even if I take 40 years life, then by 2025,only one will be in service.

Some ships are struck, some are preserved as naval museums.

Well as far as their surface fleet is concerned, there's nothing firm on order as of now( though talks are going on for either 4 F-22p or Type-54 frigates who will replace much older warships in their navy.

Its only a matter of time that they get Chinese Type054A and either older Type053H2G or US OHPs.

Apart from that as Bangladesh acquires 2 submarines,and are at present getting 2 Type 056.

All Indian frigates, destroyers are equipped with anti sub sensor and Helos. so they should be enough to see those clunky subs...

The subs which they will be getting will be kilo derivatives, which our Navy is so fond of. And anything of that caliber, should not be taken lightly.

Well first of all let me tell you that there's nothing to confirm whether they are getting Type-54 or F-22P as of now and its all in talks so far. Also regarding OHPs, they ain't coming to Pakistan anymore.

There are other things besides missiles to be carried. any ship will have a certain limitation to carry armament , look up what all goes into warships .

Compared with destroyers of similar displacement, definitely undergunned.

I think the numbers will increase so that IOR can be dominated by Indian Navy !

Honestly Kilos are of 1980s vintage (I still don't know why Our navy is in love with them) double Hulled. metal fishes and they are not an Project 636 Varshavyanka class. (which are moderately less acoustic) and all of our ship based sensors are tailor made for Chinese Fishes which are Russian kilo knock offs. Their acoustics aren't exactly secrets, since we ourselves use kilos.

PN won't buy Destroyers of that size at least till 2025, because of the Funds.. their recent Sub accusation to replace the older subs itself is going to consume their funds for the next 5 years even with Soft loan.

Theres no way Bangladesh is going to fight us. not a single chance... they're buying Weapons with Myanmar in Mind

What is this "ALMOST" ready? Or "NEARLY" ready.....or "MAYBE" ready?

A ship is either ready or not ready.....simple!
