How did it capsize if not attacked by missiles?

Really dont know maybe storms could be an old ship too

Most ships lost at sea are due to natural causes. Hurricanes and monstrous freak waves that can break the hull of a ship in no time.

Add lack of maintenance, poor hull state and mistakes made by the crew and the global economy looks like a miracle running on prayers and sheer will.

Can it mean it has been handed over for sea-trials?

dont know it looks like it there for some fitting (google maps photos are 3 months to 1 year old)

Would pump jets be used with the P-76 submarines since they are less efficient than the normal screw type propellers and conventional submarines doesnt have the unlimited fuel boon (which the nuclear subs has)

Ig they should be, since stealth is a greater criteria than speed.

Hmm, Naval Dockyard Mumbai has expertise on certain stuff - weapons, degaussing, but all that can also be done by MDL. Puchtaach karte hai.

for the love of Varuna, let it not be the CRN 91.

It's CRN-91. GRSE will be manufacturing CRN-91 for ASW SWC.

INS Brahmaputra Severely Damaged In Fire, Lying On Its Side; Sailor Missing

An Indian Navy warship which was undergoing maintenance at the naval dockyard in Mumbai caught fire today. The navy said a junior sailor is missing and rescue teams are looking for him. All other personnel have been accounted for, the navy said.

I can't stop thinking this is saboutage.

Now this is very suspicious.

Fire was controlled by the afternoon, but the ship tilted on its side by evening. Normal fire won't cause water leakage through the hull. Something pierced the hull below water line causing fire AND flooding which led to the ship tilting on one side.

Didn't this shipyard have a similar incident in 2016 where 2 sailors died?
Edit: It was 2013 and 18 sailors died!

INS Sindhurakshak.

yeah that one back in 2013.

It might be possible that one of the ballast/antiroll tank of the ship was ruptured in the fire(depending on where exactly the fire started), which gradually caused the ship to list to one side.

What are Cruise Ship Stabilizers?
