Dude why dont you give us some more hint so that we can search the whole damn internet more effectively??

About time! I hope they have sorted out all the teething issues which were being reported in the media not too long ago.

There is no rule that all systems need to be in place before commissioning. The ship can be inducted/commissioned
after the sea trials are over and the subsystems can come later on, once the ship is in IN fleet.

Infact most of the Royal Navy's Daring-class DDGs didn't have their Harpoons in place when they were
commissioned.

That said, I sincerely don't think the ship will be commissioned tomorrow. Only by the middle of this year.

LRSAM firings from Kolkata should begin by next year.

Type 45 ships were never meant to have Harpoon. It was fitted for but not with.

Some of them do. All of them will get it also, but in due time.

IMO installing box launchers from Type 42 mucks up Type 45's RCS reduction. Take Type 052D for instance, there is no box launcher and all missiles are in VLS cells.

The T-45s inducted and operationlised without even a CIWS onboard.

Look it up, it's common knowledge. The T-45s were "wired for" Phalanx but it was no installed.

It can be, CIWS systems are modular in nature, which can be programmed independently on simpler systems and can also seamlessly integrate with the ship's ICS.

Indeed but the omission of the CIWS was due to cost saving members with the UK MoD.
