Might as well tow it around with a few tugs. ;-)

I have to assume this was a cost-cutting measure, since I can’t imagine any other reason to use firebrick, when there are other non-asbestos insulators available now.

Nice to know that the “Great Un-Natural Acts”, America’s ‘environmental laws’ are just as destructive when applied by and among socialists as they have been in America.

Oh, yeah - those “Great Un-Natural Acts” are called that not as a Clinton joke but because they mandate what physics and biology have proven has never been and can never be.

You can’t run from Sea Wolf or Virginia class submarines any way.

If I remember right the Indians got screwed on a plane deal too. Buy some tanks and make it a trifecta. When you shop at Crazy Ivan’s Discount Army & Navy Store, you’d better get a written warranty.

India has to decide whether they are SERIOUS about beefing up their military, or would rather ‘save the world’.

I seriously doubt that the U.S. used asbestos on the larger boiler-fired amphibious ships or on our carriers, and none of them seem to suffer from boiler melt-down. Why didn’t India tell the Russians to use what we use? I can’t imagine it’s any sort of deep, dark military secret.

At least the screws didn’t fall of.

What does India need with an aircraft carrier?

Can you imagine the disaster that will befall a nation when WWIII begins and they have to abide by environmental and green regulations in building a war machine?

Indians refused to allow the Russians to use asbestos to insulate the steam boilers. Instead the Russians had to use vodka in their workers.

I received a postcard in the mail from some unknown company offering me extended warranty coverage on my 2006 Ford for a low price.

Maybe I should forward the post card to the Indian Navy. Maybe they cover engine boiler repairs on a cobbled up ex Russian ship?
