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.

The navy and in fact the entire armed forces is entirely corrupt and the cause is that our constitution puts them out side the normal systgem, giving far more power to the people in position and this excess powere leads to corruption. The quality of political leaders that we elect, compounds the problem, but hte problem itself is the very structure is designed to promote dishonesty. Down belwol there is this private entireprise that loots public and enrish a few CEOs and executrives causing the inequality that fires up the desire to make money by any means fair or foul.
