OR the Indian Navy will help the Chicoms screw us here.

Are you kiddign me? The only Indians who like the chicoms are the commies. Indians still mistrust China for conquering and destroying a separate nation: Tibet, for the 1964 war, for giving Pakistan nukes (the instructions would be in Chinese, that's why most of the Paki tests were duds). No, India has no love for Chicoms (for Chinese people, that's a different thing, many Chinese customs and religious practises did originate in India, like Buddhism, martial arts etc.)

[Cronos]

I guess the rag heads will have to have one too!

By "rag heads", you mean Arabs? No, Arabs don't have nukes, but Pakis do, the Iranis are trying to get it -- both of those peoples are Indo-European.

1. Which country is building NEW SSBN’s today? India? Russia? China? The United States? Britain? France?

ANSWER: EVERY nation above EXCEPT the USA is building new SSBNs. We are not.

2. Which country is DISARMING her SSBN’s and/or making them SSGN’s?

ANSWER: El Presidente Jorge Bush, who loves Putins’ soul, has disarmed American SSBN’s and turned them into “Commando” or “Cruise Missle” boats.

3. Which country’s nuclear submarines have been in a protracted multi-year court fight to light up their sonar systems - having to fight the ACLU and various “environmental defence” organisations.

HINT: It ain’t China!

Conclusion:

One wealthy, corrupt, immoral, and leaderless nation is slowly becoming weak and degenerate. Her leaders are following after her weak and entertainment obsessed people.

Her families are destroyed. Her churches are destroyed.

And soon her enemies will finish the job.

“At what point shall we expect the approach of danger? By what means shall we fortify against it? Shall we expect some transatlantic military giant, to step the Ocean, and crush us at a blow? Never! All the armies of Europe, Asia and Africa combined, with all the treasure of the earth (our own excepted) in their military chest; with a Buonaparte for a commander, could not by force, take a drink from the Ohio, or make a track on the Blue Ridge, in a trial of a thousand years. At what point, then, is the approach of danger to be expected? I answer, if it ever reach us it must spring up amongst us. It cannot come from abroad. If destruction be our lot, we must ourselves be its author and finisher. As a nation of freemen, we must live through all time, or die by suicide.”

From the Collected Works of Abraham Lincoln edited by Roy P. Basler, Volume I, “Address Before the Young Men’s Lyceum,of Springfield, Illinois (January 27, 1838), p. 109.

Don Imus characterized the Paki-Indian nuke standoff as

“a case of dot heads and rag heads with warheads”

[miliantnutcase]

I’m going to Hell for laughing at that...

Located up the winding shipping channel in Visakhapatnam harbour is a secret, completely enclosed facility known only as the Shipbuilding Centre (SBC).

Shhhhhsssssh! This is our little secret and I promise not to tell anyone else......

I chuckle with you on that one.

As tall as a TWO STORY BUILDING indeed.

The ragheads get their technology from the Chicoms & their money from the yankees.

LOL, did anyone notice that the newspaper article essentially copied the layout and format of this picture here provided by Electric Boat for the Virginia class boats for their artist’s impression.

Note the cut-away segment showing the anaechoic tiling, the reactor room (identical except for some color palette swapping), the torpedo arrangement, the launching missile, etc.

It’s far more convincing than the Chinese technique of adding canards to the F-22 to make it into the J-12 5th generation fighter.

[Cronos]

that is kind of funny in a seriously non-pc way. Thought imus is wrong — Pakis are south-asians (i.e. Muslim India), not arabs.

Buddhism originated in present day north pakistan near the Chinese border. The only Buddhists in India today are the Tibetans and the ethnic Burmese. buddhism was essentially wiped out by the muslims and hindus in India and Pakistan.

[DuncanWaring]

At 6,000-tons, this sub will be pretty small when compared to US Ohio-class boomers, ...

True, but recall that the USS Nautilus (SSN-571) had a displacement around 3500 tons.

[sukhoi-30mki]

Then you must not have heard of the thousands who convert to Buddhism in India every where.Something which has been happening for over 50 years.The vast majority of Buddhists in India live in a state with little or no Tibetans/Burmese.

[sukhoi-30mki]

The French navy’s Rubis class SSNs are even smaller at around 2,500 tonnes submerged displacement.

But then these were not SSBNs(if this Indian sub actually turns out to be one).
