I feel that this post might be real...
The problem is that me accepting certain realities will just give pakistanis and chinese a reason to cheer...
firstly, this is truth that Indians are still set in medieval society-structure and mind set. and its not that pakistanis are any better, if not worse. and the officer-class of both the Navies treat their sailors shabbily. we have still not grown up the way the western navies have
secondly, its true that Indian Navy warships have pathetic RO system mostly... things are improving, but at a snail's pace.
Thirdly, Regarding accommodation and all, u need to realize that till now India was following the Russian pattern. Design and Make a ship-fit the guns-fit the missiles-put all systems- NOW- do we have any place left for the men???? so the living spaces are cramped up, which can easily be seen as pathetic by a superiority-complez induced american...
Fourthly, regarding the chaos in bridge, both India and pakistan, do u guys remember how our marriages are? everyone shouting and chaos all around.. does that mean no body knows what's happening??? NO WAY. Both, Indian and Pakistani naval officers have been doing really well abroad... My problem is that I can't show pakistanis in bad light just because I have to portray India as good... Let the truth be there...
fifthly, coming within 50ft of another ship, and this guy was p!ssing in his pants!!! At this point, I'm sure the naval guys from both nations reading this would be smiling within themselves... WE guys (even pakistanis) do such manoeuvres everyday!!! and the number of "incidents" have been really really very low. U ask a USS to do it, and they will simply f%ck off from the place!!!
sixthly, I don't know how many of u guys have ever been on a US warship.. I have been on two.. and I must tell u, their ships look like brand new cars right out of showrooms!!! But then, lets compare the money that they spend vis-a-vis money spent by Indian or pakistani navies... in this same regard, when I went on a German ship... I wanted to stay there forever.. they were like heaven!!! we guys will need 30 years to come to that level...
Seventhly, regarding his talk about professionalism... Just to point out and no way am I trying to troll, could 1971 operations would have been possible with a Navy that this guy has portrayed... ASK YOURSELF. and could a rag-tag navy ensure so many anti-piracy successful missions??? Guys, I know it gives u a kick to find something bad about India,,, and when its about indian Military, well, u have hit a jackpot!!! The truth is, pakistani navy is pretty small,and yet very professional... and Indian Navy is superior to it. Its the master of North Indian Ocean right now, and that's the TRUTH.
Eighth, yes, our ships don't have hot water running. Come on guys, have u left ur IQ at home??? What's the average temperature in Indian waters??? and compare it with US waters!!! and I KNOW, don't ask me how, that 24 hours running water (forget it being HOT) is not available on any Pakistani warship at all!!!
Ninth, water hygiene... NO INDIAN sailor has faced problems of food poisoning onboard an IN ship in my memory. GO FIGURE!
Lastly, before trolling, all of us need to realize that the "standard of living" on US warships is much higher.. they have satellite TVs in every cabin, with satellite phones to call up home from wherever they want.. They do not have the rigid class-divide between officers and men which Indians and Pakistani navy have... That's the differnce of civilizations... (and now plz don't start that trash about pakistanis having the civilization and culture imported from Jupiter.....)
Lets now have a positive talk... and Moderators, if u want some positive outsome, plz delete the flaming posts immediately and warn/ban the responsible guys rather than looking at their flags first....
