Navy Day Press meet: CNS Admiral Nirmal Verma
Check the complete version on Tarmak007.
Points of interest in this address are
*Capability Building
1.There are, presently, 36 ships and submarines on order in various Indian shipyards.
2.the construction of our Indigenous Aircraft Carrier at Kochi is progressing satisfactorily, though with some hiccups, and the refurbishment of Vikramaditya at Russia is doing well.
3.Among the inductions planned from abroad are the Carrier Vikramaditya, which all of you know about, three follow-on ships of the Talwar Class from Russia, and two replenishment tankers from Italy.
4.In the interim, Mid-life Upgrades (MLUs) of 13 ships has been approved and the ships are being upgraded accordingly. After their MLU, the already very capable ships of the Rajput Class, as also those of the Godavari Class, will emerge as significantly more capable and modernised 21st Century combatants.
5. twelve P 8I Poseidon Maritime Patrol Aircraft are planned for induction.
6.We expect the first flight (of NLCA) to take place his month.
7.We also have an indigenously developed data link and combat management system.
*Infrastructure
8.These include a second phase of expansion of the naval base at Karwar, planned induction of a second floating dock and upgradation of our dockyards and aircraft repair yards
*Coastal Security Initiatives
9.The Indian Navy had established four Joint Operation Centres at Mumbai, Visakhapatnam, Kochi and Port Blair.
10.In all, ten exercises on the West coast, nine on the East coast, two in L&M islands and two in A&N Islands have been conducted this year.( for coastal security)
11.Once implemented, integrated National MDA will enable effective sharing of maritime related information among all stakeholders, thereby leading to more informed decision making and faster response by security agencies.
* Blue water Capabilities
12.Suffice it to say, that our powder is dry and we stand ready to combat any malafide activity intended to harm our national integrity and interests.
*Cooperative Maritime Security
13.We also have the distinction of undertaking naval exercises with all the major navies of the world, with 13 such exercises being held in 2010.
14.In the years ahead, I am sure IONS will continue to look at collective and cooperative solutions for issues in Indian Ocean.
15.India today is seen as a net security provider.
16. To date, over 1350 merchant ships of varying nationalities have been escorted safely and about a hundred of these have been Indian flagged vessels.
