Can anyone tell me where the four gas turbines will be purchased?
Is it coming from LM or some Russian manufactures?

The building dock at Cochin Shipyard where the first indigenous aircraft carrier is being built will be flooded in December 2010 if everything sticks to plan. Out of a total of 874 modular blocks that will constitute the carrier in its final form, 423 blocks are ready, and lie stacked in the open yards at the shipyard, waiting to be lowered into the building dock. The remaining 451 blocks will be completed by the end of this year. With a length of 265-metres and a 7.5-metre draft, the IAC is quite simply the largest naval ship that CSL has ever undertaken to build. CSL chairman M Jeetendran says he will have capacity to undertake the construction of a second IAC by the end of 2009. The concurrent design and construction model that defines the IAC programme is such that critical parts of the vessel are still on the drawing board -- and certain design elements are still to be firmed up fully.

General Electric LM 2500 gas turbines, generating a total power of 80 MW (~ 120,000 hp).

Will it be assembled or built in India?
Thanks!

Ordnance Unit develops anti-submarine rocket for Navy

Published: March 2,2009



Tiruchirapalli , Mar 2 The Heavy Alloys Penetrator Project (HAPP) ordnance factory here has developed an anti- submarine rocket (RGB-12) for the Indian Navy, 10 of which are under user trials at Pena, Pune, a top official said.
R R Yadava, factory General Manager, told reporters here that R&D efforts in reverse engineering had been used to develop the missile. A pilot batch of improved version of the rockets with enhanced capabilities was also being developed (RGB-60) for user trials by August 2009, he said.

The rockets were so far imported by the Navy and so indigenous efforts would save foreign exchange, he said.

The factory, originally established to manufacture kinetic energy products like FSAPDS ( Fins Stabilised Armour Piercing Discarding Sabot) for the Indian Army, has diversified since the Sabots are not used at present.

HAPP possesses state-of-the-art facilities, skilled manpower and has one of the largest powder metallurgy plants in Asia, dealing with tungsten alloys for manufacture of penetrators for kinetic energy projectiles, he said.

In recent times, HAPP had established bulk manufacturing of tungsten alloy pre-fragments for PINAKA rocket, Bomb Body for 81mm mortar bombs, base Bleed and adapters for 155 ERFB shells.

The CSL has in the past build tankers well over 80,000 tons.

Thanks.

Thanks.

think it must be the loaded weight not the empty weight

 

[Contrarian]

IIRC this is the largest ship till date being constructed in India.

I said naval Ship . CSL has built tankers upto 95000 tons.
