It's all over the news. Do a little research.

We do not take to one liner posts very well here at SD...read the rules.

If you research it and find he is wrong, indicate that you have another source that says it is different and then link to and quote that source.

The official float out is occurring today in India:

Times of India said:
MUMBAI: The first of the six Scorpene Submarines (Project 75) will undock in presence of the defence minister Manohar Parrikar at the Mazagon Dock Limited (MDL) in Mumbai on Monday. The minister will be commencing the floating out of the first project 75 (Scorpene) Submarine on pontoon at MDL, said the Indian Navy official.

An MDL official said the submarine will undock on Monday and after carrying out tests at sea it will dock back. "After undergoing trial test run at sea to check technical glitches, if any, the sub will be commissioned on September 2016," said the official.

Kalvari, India's 1st Scorpene submarine. Floated out today. Launch comes later. (Kalvari, named after Indian Navy's first ever submarine, the INS Kalvari, a Soviet Foxtrot-class commissioned in 1967).

Very glad to see the 1st Scorpion floated in India..

These are very decent SSKs and will be a GREAT addition to the Indian Navy.

Hopefully, they will allow India to overcome some of its problems of late with SSKs, and give them the technology to design and build a future class of their own.

I heard it was French design but manufactured in India. Is India only responsible for final assembly or is it responsible for most of the hull, only except for subsystem?

On a side note, is this the dock where the Kilo sub was sunk?
