Maybe 2047 is a more likely date for getting those numbers given the large numbers of ships that will have to be decommissioned by 2027. At best, it might get to 150-160 ships by 2027. <br /><br />Maybe the IN top brass should stop dreaming and get down to the business of ensuring ships are built on time, shipyard capabilities are properly vetted before awarding orders, speeding up decisions on several long delayed projects, ensuring industry can deliver shipbuilding material and equipment on time, better project management at all phases of ship construction, and lastly to ensure that extant vessels are properly maintained and safely operated by their crew/maintainers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8726844009873922462.post-75689296753895725012016-09-18T07:32:02.006-07:002016-09-18T07:32:02.006-07:00We know each class of ship like 15A has a planned ...We know each class of ship like 15A has a planned number say 3 . This hw needs to be ordered immediately and all 3 need to built in parallel. No point in having serial production . It looks mess starts from finance side. We should hope with arrival of pvt shipyards things improve. These companies can start manufacturing modular structures in parallel and shipped by sea.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8726844009873922462.post-13601961089484496252016-09-18T04:49:49.189-07:002016-09-18T04:49:49.189-07:00I think sir you forgot about the lead ship INS VI...I think sir you forgot about the lead ship INS VISHAKAPATANAM that will be delivered to the navy in the fall on 2018. The subsequent ships would be delivered at intervals of 2 years each including INS MURMUGAO which should join in 2020. These are being built under modular design that reduces time intervals. But to augment capacity building like the Chinese we have to build more of similar designs or newer designs at a private shipyard in the country.simultaneously we can build warships at Russian yards as well.
