I have served in Vishakhapatnam base for 7 years and left Navy after completion of Short service commission. I have served on warships and trust me Indians the ships which we run with so much of proud have following basic problems:- 1) They are old ships. Like this ship was used by US Navy for 45 years before it was sold to us. We paid $500 million for this scrap. 2)I do not understand why leadership in Indian Navy does not stand up and say that we can not run this scrap.whether its Ships or aircrafts or submarines. 3) Do not be surprised to hear that a submarine will sink with 100s of men onboard. 4) So you know who suffers most? Its the family of these naval personnel who Navy pays 5-7 lakhs and a sum of Rs 5000 -8000 as monthly pension. Just think if this happens to you? 5) Stand up guys and say no to these scrap pieces.
Its sad day in history of Indian Navy and we all will forget in a day or two. Its only families of those 5 naval personnel who will suffer for rest of there lives.
