he is telling the truth, you are offical sources confirm this yet amatuers on forums just start bloating around..
Which official sources and what do they confirm?
I've replied to that poster using facts,Yes there are docks in India capable of building Nuclear submarines,We have enough experience in related areas and navy is building a new dock under 'Project varsha' to house its Nuclear Submarines
At least,bother to read the post before quoting them.
why do you think china strifes so much and comes up with a relatively inferior ship intially and then builds upon it and improves it further. India with no experience is suddenly building a carrier..
its because china has no real access to foreign designs
Well let me tell you
,Cochin Shipyard Limited,who built our aircraft carrier,has
experience in building 100,000 tonne tanker ships and have capability to build 125,000 tonne ships.So they can easily build a 40,000 tonne vessel
And you seem to think that India has no prior experience in designing and building ships for Indian Navy,let me burst your bubble.
ndia have designed and built several Naval ships in the past,Upcoming Kolkata class destroyer ,Shivalik class frigate,Delhi class destroyer,Godavari class frigate,Brahmaputra class frigate many more landing ships,replenishment oilers,
Now do you think Vikrant class is a foreign design?who helped us?
Now read this,
Vikrant Class design and features
Designed by the Directorate of Naval Design, the aircraft carrier can operate a combination of Russian MiG-29K, Ka31 and the indigenous light combat aircraft. It will be powered by two LM2500 gas turbines. The design incorporates highly automated systems for machinery operation, ship navigation and survivability.
Vikrant Class - Naval Technology
i will give one example, there is a long list
India has started acquiring warship engines from the US, and LM-2500 engines are also being installed on board Indias three aircraft carriers under construction or planned now. The US Government allowed GE to sell them to India only last year and four engines for the first Indigenous Aircraft Carrier (IAC) have already been acquired.
This is not an example,Even Chinese warships use Ukrainian gas turbines,as they do not have a capable marine gas turbine,We tested Kaveri Marine Gas Turbine back in 2008,but it is only 12 MW,not capable for propelling any of India's new aircraft carrier/destroyer/frigate classes
