CAG ought not to be castigated for stating the obvious regarding submarine availability. Outside of professionals with access to satellite imagery, anyone with a cursory knowledge of naval vessels can tell the numbers of boats that are likely to be avaialable with a reasonable degree of accuracy.

Guys, don't get too excited by the picture of R22. It was taken during Malabar 05 so it is old. Chances are that some of the SHAR's in the pic no longer exist.

The G class are being put thru an extentive MLU. Look at G1. G2 has been partially upgraded. G3 should be emerging from her upgrade any time.

Just curious as to what metrics you have used to assert that Barak-2/MF-STAR equipped vessels are less capable than, and not quite upto the task of protecting CVBG, as well as Aegis equipped vessels. Do share these with the rest of us.

GeorgeJ, as I have mentioned earlier, it is time to drop the whole IPMS/ CIC/ MCR business and move on to more useful things. Can you use your considerable powers of research to figure out what SSR the p-17 has? or what decoy launchers for that matter?

George J,

thanks for clarifying the matter of paanwallahs viz former paanwallahs. Anyhow, please drop this ops room or not ops room matter. time to move on to other things. Like what radar does the P-1& have?

George, why are you picking a fight with TSarkar? Unless you have been in the Navy, please refrain from needlesslly challenging 'paanwallas' on the forum. Do you have any idea just how difficult it is to obtain Ops rooms pictures? Many, many factors have to line up at the just the right time for one...

Significance of the S-73 pennant: 1. Being that old Chakra was S-71, new Chakra (Nerpa/Akula) should also be S-71, so if S-73 is indeed the correct pennant for ATV-1, then it means there's a S-72 Akula in the works... OR 2. It could mean a break in the number sequence as in S-63 and S-65 for last EK...

KD, thanks 4 the pics. As you have surmised, it is indeed the Krivak/ Tabar. :cry: It is easy to mistake the Krivak for the Shivalik given the similar forward arrangement of the two ships.

As for the P-71 IAC, the ship will have a much more modern, contemporary set of equipment.
