This one was a keeper!
They would have used it as a mothership for sure.

By the way, I got the torpedo idea from the movie The In-Laws . There Micheal Douglas who was riding a speed boat was chased by a torpedo. So my great idea is - Let a IN submarine lead a destroyer or frigade, while the ship stays a little distance and questions the Mother******* ship on Radio, the ...

So people have started discussing the price of Kashmir! Only Indians can do this. No wonder some Kashmiris don't want to be with India. India should never give up Kashmir, but rather chalk out plans to get back, POK, COK and the entire Indus river valley back. Liberating Tibet next. Rhetorics first...

Chetak, Do you think IM will accept this offer and not take shelter under the secular laws? If they do they undercut the very divine decree , theological argument about their religion , complete way of life etc. The choice is same which Islam extend to kaffirs.

Chetakji, Its not that we don't have the core of unity and the capacity to become one nation. I do think that excessive philosophical development towards "non-material" spiritual paths have "distracted" us a bit! Probably every highly developed civilization comes to this stage w...

i think rather than a klub may be a torpedo can be used. They would be very effective against speed boats. By the way the captain and the crew should be awarded medals so that next time they see a pirate ship they should not mistake it for a fishing vessel and leave it. It is the thai boats problem...

Wicharn said his ship made a distress call on November 18 as it was chased by pirates in two speedboats, but the connection was lost midway. The owners, Sirichai Fisheries, had not heard from the crew since then. Thai company says INS Tabar sank its vessel So the ship made a distress call on Nov. 1...

anand, there is no proof as of yet that there were any crew on-board at the time of the sinking. all we have at the moment is a supposed statement from a supposed survivor who is now supposed to be in hospital. no other supporting sources whatsoever. and even if we 'suppose' that this person is ind...

The Cambodian would have lasted 6 days only if he had the presence of mind to jump into the sea with at least 5 liters of drinking water. Without that, he would be dead in 3 days; sooner if he drank sea water. Too many loopholes indeed. Difficult yes but shipwrecked sailors have survived much longe...

all pirate motherships were hijacked at some point or the other, it's not like pirates place orders at swan hunter for a 'Model 1.0.2 Pirate Mothership'. meaning this was at the time a pirate ship, whatever it may have been in its earlier avatar is irrelevant. about a thai ship in those waters; rea...

While there is a possibility that the IN was coerced into hostile action by terrorists on board a hijacked vessel, which tragically was not known to the IN, this dilemna can be easily resolved. There are 2 types of distress signals mandatory on ships. SSAS and an Inmarsat C (min). DIfferent functio...

Breaking news on TV just now.
The thais are claiming that the IN sank their trawler Ekawat Nawa 5 and not a pirate ship.
14 crew missing, one crew confirmed dead.
This trawler had apparently been taken over by the pirates, as per the owner's statement

Well, I guess the "mature system" has not developed because everyone has their own idea of what the concept of "India" means and should mean. This means there is no large-scale consensus about what India should mean as a nation. It is time perhaps to hammer out this consensus at...

Burum Ocean looked like the flagship of their fleet , the other one didnt look as impressive. but I am sure they have 3-4 more motherships.
