Indian Navy Developments & Discussions

Numbers are not rounding up for me. It is exceeding 63

Ships which are under construction:

1. Samarthak class MPV = 02
2. Kalvari class SSK = 01
3. Visakhapatnam class DDG = 01
4. Nilgiri class FFG = 07
5. Talwar class FFG = 04
6. Mahe class ASWSWC = 08
7. Arnala class ASWSWC = 08
8. Sandhyak class SVL = 03
9. Nistar class DSV = 02
10. Diving Support Craft = 05
11. Fleet Support Ship = 05
12. Cadet Training Ship = 03
13. Next Generation OPV = 11
14. Next Generation Missile Vessel = 06
Total = 66

I have excluded the 02 P77 class SSNs.

his statement was on boats under construction in the country.
two of talwar class will come in russia's account, two in Indian shipyard's account.

that leaves one delta from your number.
 
Ships under construction is an apt parameter to judge shipbuilding capabilities.
But I think for atleast the top 5 navies, a better metric than ships under construction should be tonnage per cell for all surface combatant to better gauge the magazine depth.
The smaller the number, the better.

• Tons for 1 SSM - 453t
• Tons for 1 SAM - 143t
• Tons for 1 U-VLS - _

NOTE : It's not an exhaustive list. And there may be errors in data or calculations; cross check it.
 
Just a follow up to this for some perspective on how this "cells fielded by surface vessels" look like when compared to our adversary

Let's compare our whole to just one, JUST ONE class of PLA-N ships.

Name | Number | Ton | SSM | SAM | U-VLS
1. Type-055 | 16 | 12,000 | 0-112 | 0-448 | 122
Total | 16 | 1,92,000 | 0-1,792 | 0-7,168 | 122
 
Shitpost warning : Was getting bored so doodled this...a rough idea of how much overmatch we've yet to negate to even achieve parity
Man, great job.

My 2 cents on how in near future we are matching them on parity.

1. AShM:
900km Brahmos and 1000km LDHCM

2. ADS:
250km range LRSAM

3. Land Attack:
1500km range LRLACM

4. ASuW:
RBU-6000ER = 24km and Shakti torpedo = 40km
 
Man, great job.
Thanks Mate
Par future ke saath dikkat ye hai ki ye saale Chini bhi to future me kuch na kuch karenge hi na, velle thode hi baithe rahenge 😏

Even now there are some Chinese weapons that've already been tested and in every way it's possible to field them on the 55s but I didn't include them just to keep things fair. Some of the rumoured/in trail weapons
• CX-1; 850km ranged supersonic anti-ship cruise missile, the Chinese P-800
• YJ-12E; another supersonic anti-ship cruise missile with unknown range
• HQ-19; a THAAD/SM-3 like ≈2,000km ranged ABM
