Good job india — now you need 20 more of these. Control the Indian ocean!

Interesting that they chosen a heavier platform. This is on the order of a light cruiser.

Looks like a cross between an RN Daring Class destroyer and one of those Spanish Aegis frigates ...

Haven’t battleships long been rendered obsolete by air power?

Welly welly good show! Those Chinamen are certain to think twice about tangling with that massive gun! But where are the close-in defenses against the feared DIMSUM Chinese missiles?

7,200 tonnes of bristling steel, Indeed! (Or Aluminum?)

I love the turban-shaped superstructure. Excessive top-hamper, but nice ethnic touch. Also plenty of space on the foredeck for the standard all-singing, all-dancing Bollywood Finale!

You combine this with Japan’s Naval buildup and this is the response that China gets when it tries to bully it’s neighbors. Unlike Western Europe, I feel we have reliable partners in the Indian Ocean and the Far East against China’s agression.

The Indian Navy also seems to be doing a lot of good work in combatting Piracy.
