The Hindu : Today's Paper / NATIONAL : Simulated homeland naval exercise on

Dispersal of enemy resources through pinching movement marked one of the few military tactics drilled here in a simulated homeland security exercise, by the Kodiakkarai Naval detachment here in Kodiakarai in Vedaranyam on Wednesday. The exercise, as part of ‘Operation Sachet', the three-day coastal security exercise under way under the Eastern Naval Command for the entire Eastern coast and its units, sought to simulate challenges to homeland security through a ‘terror attack' along with the security reinforcement on the high seas.

A mock drill for combating a rear-end terror strike on a building was staged by the Kodiakkarai Naval detachment here in a bid to simulate a land-oriented strike.

The combat exercise involved dispersal of an attacking team in a pincer movement along extreme flanks with no direct frontal attack in order to engage with the enemy.

The exercise involved a simulation of off-shore interception and checking of fishing boats and security in the high seas, including checking for the structural soundness of fishing boats by the Navy.

According to an official, every battle was unique, throwing up its own challenges, and there was no perfect simulation of a combat front. A de-brief from the frontline units on the ‘tangible, achievable and possible' interventions to the existing operations and logistics would be prepared at the conclusion of the exercise on Thursday.

So you are not sure ??/
I think its Project 17a because it looks exactly like FREMM frigate and DCNS was one of the leading contenders in project 17a....
But this question is meant for people who went to see Defence expo 2010 as they might have seen this model...

Vice Admiral Joshi new Western Naval Command chief
MUMBAI (PTI): Vice Admiral D K Joshi Saturday took charge as the chief of the Western Naval Command headquartered in the metropolis.

He succeeded Vice Admiral Sanjeev Bhasin, who retired from the Navy after four decades of illustrious service.

"A specialist in anti-submarine Warfare, Vice Admiral D K Joshi assumed Command of the Western Naval Command at a ceremonial parade at `INS Shikra' here," said Defence Assistant PRO Narendrakumar Vispute.

Joshi has commanded the guided-missile corvette `Kuthar', Guided-Missile Destroyer `Ranvir' and the aircraft carrier `Viraat'.

He is a graduate of the Naval War College, USA, an alumnus of the College of Naval Warfare, Mumbai, and the prestigious National Defence College, New Delhi, Vispute added.

Joshi has held several important staff appointments.

His last two appointments were as Commander-in-Chief of Andaman & Nicobar Command (CINCAN) and Chief of Integrated Defence Staff to Chairman Chiefs of Staff Committee (CISC), he said.

Can any senior member please tell me when will the construction begin of p 15b destroyers?
Thanks in advance.

^^^
Construction on Project 15b depends on MDL and IN....right now we cannot set a date because Project 15A is still going on (delayed by 3-4 years atleast) and when it will complete then Project 15B will start....Also the pressing issue is IN might change its requirement or ask for some changes in design....
But still i think by 2012-2013 it should start...

has any one seen the pictures of uss independence,then the italian and french navy's FREMM class frigates, the swedish visby class or the french navy's la fayette class frigate?????THEY ALL LOOK AWESOME AND DEADLY!!!!!
why dont the indian shipbuilding docks,or the design engineers of the ship make something like that for the INDIAN NAVY...!!!(offcourse not on the cost of the quality..or any other core security systems)
All these designs you mentioned above are possible because of modular shipbuilding which none of our shipyards except Cochin was capable of but MDL and GRSE are also undergoing modernization and after 2011 they will be capable of building all these designs...
As far as Visby is concerned it involved composite technology for superstructure and good news is GRSE is working on that i think with the same shipyard which build Visby....The last 2 of project 28 and the ships of Project 28A will be of the line of Visby but design will be different....
 
.
I think i found the answer for the picture posted....
I think its the design meant for project 17A from MDL which is based on Andrea Doria guided-missile destroyer

The Trishul blog reported something interesting in regard of the French Mistral class:

GRSE Bags Order From MoD for LPV Destined For Mauritius...

...while MDL has teamed up with Fincantieri of Italy to propose a design derived from the Italian Navy’s Andrea Doria guided-missile destroyer, GRSE has joined forces with France’s DFCNS to propose a design derived from the Fremm-class FFG. GRSE is also proposing to the MoD that the Mistral-class LPD from DCNS be selected and ordered (three units) for the IN. If this were to happen, then GRSE is expected to build them under licence....

TRISHUL: GRSE Bags Order From MoD for LPV Destined For Mauritius


Now the Mistral class is not an LPD, but an LHD and according to the reports IN is specifically searching for LDPs only. However, it would be more than interesting to see if there is really such an proposal and if IN would accept it, because the LHDs are clearly more capable and suitable for INs needs.
