INS Sindhurakshak to be Re-sunk : Indian Navy

INS Sindhurakshak – the Russian built diesel electric Kilo class submarine — that blew up two years ago in Mumbai, may be put use again. Senior defence ministry officials told NDTV that the submarine is likely to be taken to sea, sunk and used as training platform for navy divers.
Divers are one of most critical arms of any Navy and are primarily used for salvage operations, de-mining and even in an offensive role.”A team of officials have been tasked to examine the possibilities and the logistics that will be required to take back into the sea,” the official said.Explosions had taken place on board the Sindhurakshak on 14 August 2013 while it was preparing to leave for a routine operation. The accident had killed 18 crew members.
An inquiry ordered into the incident – the report of which is yet to be formally submitted to the government – is believed to have found that standard operating procedures had been violated, which triggered the explosion in the ordinance on board.
The sub, which had sunk in the Mumbai harbor, was salvaged and currently rests on a pontoon in the Mumbai docks.
Indian Navy divers are trained at the Cochin Diving School and also at Submarine training school in Vishakapatnam. But in both places, they are trained under simulated conditions — in specially built tanks, where changes in weather and sea conditions are difficult to replicate.
“Having a real submarine deep in the sea to be used by divers for training would be of immense value,” a senior Navy official told NDTV.
Three months before the accident, the 16-year-old submarine had been refurbished in Russia at a cost ofRs.480 crore. It had been fitted with an improved warfare system and was expected to serve for another decade.
 
LOL India is so poor it keeps using a submarine even after it blows up and sinks.

HA HA. I wud say India are so highly utilitarian that they even make use of a useless hardware in some real productive manner. Otherwise, whats the use of scrapping that sunken submarine for some dollors? Better use it for training of different type.

But you wont understand all this. U need acumen for that.

Will be a positive if some good (for the IN) can come out of this tragedy.....

Of course this will be very useful for training IN divers.

The neuvo riche Chinese that has forgotten his past. Doesn't remember that all that he is today is because of the sacrifices his forefathers made and made use of what they had to move forward. These kids have seen some cash and are jumping like how a monkey does when it sees a banana. Sad.

Didn't the PLAN have the brightest sailors leave in Ming sub to be NOT found for years until a fisherman found the vessel in the harbour sunk?

Haha. Using 10 years old incident trying to prove what point? It like that is also valid. Russian navy are also crap with Kursk sinking? Indian navy just blow up this sub in peacetime harbour 2 years ago. More or less show indian navy sub training currently
Sorry, PLAN sub is accident free for past 10 years.

As far as it gets out right. Not like the PLA is transparent. But you know. My point stands in response to the other guy. So lets not thump chests.
