Again it is a mistake to think of Navy strength just in terms of number of ships, just like mistake to think of PAF v IAF is just about fighters, as we saw on Feb 27th it is about a "system" and what is true for the air domain is becoming increasingly true of sea.
Just like we had training, EW, AEW and networking in air it is obvious this is becoming increasingly important in sea.
PN use of UAVs, more ATRs, AZMAT as missile carriers means we are using information and networking to cue very long rang missiles at enemy assets. In this sense the old days of big heavy destroyers become less important. This is only a requirement if we are fighting far away.
We have ZDK AEW over sear, P-3Cs, ATRs, UAVs, Submarine communication base, ground based radars and EW asets all dedicated to finding, jamming and targeting Indian ships.
Increasingly the range of the missiles we fire is also becoming longer and longer.
