the keel of INS Sahyadri was laid in March 2003 and it was taken out for sea trials earlier this year. Nine years from keel to delivery? I guess that's better than their tank program.

Very sleek and efficient looking. 5k tons and willing to post 30 knots. This is a Destroyer sized and armed type ship that can probably turn 33+ knots when really pushed by a dedicated snipe crew. Is this a one screw or two screw ship? Can't really tell from the pic of the fantail. Guess I'll goggle her sister ships.
At first glance I'd have to say congrats to the Indians.

India is a great country and a potential world power - and she’ll have to be to deal with Pakistan, and, worse, China.
