Philip wrote:Was reading an interesting analysis on our Arihant class- dated but observant.The front portion from the sail onwards is totally Kilo.Even the sail is Kilo + with the planes fixed to it though. The aft portion differs and being the first boat, carries limited no. of missiles.Described as a " pocket SSBN".Once the later boats planned with 12 to 16 silos arrive, we may see the Arihant reconfigured as an SSGN carrying 12 non- N missiles for land attack.
A thought did strike me with some US analysts proposing merchant ships packed with missiles like an arsenal ship.Our old carriers like the Viraat could simply be stationed at port but equipped with a heavy load of mixed missiles, possibly even SAMs like S-400s on deck!
