Yet normaly the ship is placed on a line of tins blocks of wood very hard and resistant resist even for CVN after for the mechanism i am not Popeye
and we need more.
Indian Military News, Reports, Data, etc.
- Thread starter bd popeye
- Start date
and we need more.This ship is like 12 years old? She's way too young to go away. And it's easier to repair her than put another warship in the line. If she would be 42 years old they would just scrap her without a doubt.
So they will spend six years to repair her?

Last news no mechanism in question he switched on the blocks
Countries which didn't have major accidents within it's navies:
1. PLAN
2. KPN
Countries which had major problems:
ALL THE OTHERS
Accidents like that had happened before, happened now and will be in the future. Flooding a drydock could be tricky, especially with warships as they have pretty unusual hull shapes.
Yeah, well could you give me a link to one as serious as this please and as for repairing the ship, anything can be repaired but if the cost is prohibitively high, is it woth it?

The navy has ruled out deploying indigenously built light combat aircraft Tejas on its aircraft carriers, saying it is "not being able to meet the requirements".
- Tejas not being able to meet the requirements, says Navy.
- Navy is looking at procuring an alternative aircraft.
- Navy still encouraging DRDO to develop the Naval Light Combat Aircraft
Citing "overweight" as one of the reasons for ruling out Tejas for India's aircraft carriers, Admiral Sunil Lanba, Chief of Naval Staff, said the navy is looking at procuring an alternative aircraft.
"As far as the carrier-based aircraft is concerned, we need it in a time line of the induction of the aircraft carrier. We have the MiG 29K, which operates from Vikramaditya and will operate from (indigenous aircraft carrier) IAC Vikrant.
"We were also hoping to operate the LCA (Light Combat Aircraft-Tejas) from these two aircraft carriers.
"Unfortunately, the LCA is not being able to meet the carrier's required capability. That is why we need an alternative aircraft to operate from these two aircraft carriers," Mr Lanba said.

He said that at the moment the navy is in the process of identifying the aircraft that will meet its requirements.
"If you look around the world, there are not too many options available and we need this carrier capable aircraft sooner than later. So, I am looking at next five-six years," he said.
LCA-Tejas is an indigenously built fighter aircraft and has been inducted into the Indian Air Force.
Mr Lanba said the navy is still encouraging India's Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) to develop the Naval LCA.
The naval chief said that it is also looking at UAVs which can operate from ships and autonomous sub-surface vehicles for surveillance.
One, and One only F-35B!
I don't know why you would assume the PLAN has never had a serious accident, if they did, they most certainly wouldn't advertise it?? its rather naïve to make a statement of that nature, as everyone, who operates warships in a serious 24/7 capacity has had, and will continue to have accidents, for instance the Chinese, Russians, and Americans have fairly recently lost "Carrier Aircraft", those are class A accidents, in other words they are major accidents!

I think he meant to be sarcastic and to imply that the PLAN hides all its accidents so they look accident-free on the surface.
The fact is the PLAN releases their accidents just as any other navy in the world. As you mentioned, we just heard about the J-15 accident not too long ago. And several J-10 accidents including the one with the female pilot. If I remember correctly, the CV-16 had some kind of accident during one of its initial sea trials. We all hear about them. No one is trying to hide anything.
