LMAO, that's what I call a selfie stick!

More like a D1ck than a Stick. But seriously speaking; this is a camera mounted to monitor the anchor cable or moorings when the ship is at anchor or moored to a buoy. can also be used to monitor other things.

Hi some questions
1.What is the status of Pipavav NOPV class ships?
2.Can the 76mm SRGMs of P15A class be replaced by 127mm guns during refit ? I am not asking if it will be done, just asking if it is possible ?

Thanks

I was just going to post these pictures

I heard about this review a few days ago, I didn't think they would actually publish any pictures of it. Apparently everything is looking good for the 2017-18 commencement of sea trails timeframe.

Any update on sea trails of INS Kalavari? And what about its torpedoes?

1. Delayed by 5-6 months and 1st NOPV will be inducted in late 2016 only.
2. Yes they can be. Not sure if Navy will go for though.

But armed lighter than a multirole corvette.

Well Kamortas are equipped with heavyweight torpedoes( a rare in corvettes) while for AShm role it can use different versions of Klub cruise missiles from torpedo tubes( against both surface ships and submarines though antisubmarine is priority given its ASW warship). So It matches top notch destroyers(say Kolkata class) in ASW role while still can play a light frigate in anti-shipping mission of required.
Yes man delays are unfortunate but still better than PSUs.

I see SAAR 5 and then this, we are wasting a lot of space.

@Capt.Popeye

Sir do the HAL Dhruv delivered to Indian Navy, are configured to carry out ASW operations? I mean , we know that they can fire Torpedoes. But are they at present integrated with such ASW system? Because Navy always lists it as a SAR/ Utility platform.
