Here’s a Mobile Coastal Defence Ship/Helicopter Carrier for only $45 million: http://www.alibaba.com/sellinglead-free/13323237/Sell_Mobile_Coastal_Defence_Systems_The.html

that can be had within six months of the order date...

Judging from the Wiki photo INS Mumbai is definitely respectable looking, as big as an Aegis cruiser.

But there are no more battleships...

[tomkat]

Nice pink keel   

[sinanju]

That one definitely shows Yanqui influence.

[bmwcyle]

Nice submarine target.

[sinanju]

It’s red lead, you’ve just been smoking to much ganj.

India has its own smaller "regional" problems and will be well-served with destroyers that can get in close enough to drop rockets and large rounds on those problems.

They don't even need to leave India to find such places either.

[Red_Devil 232]

Yep, the INS Mumbai is a Delhi-class destroyer not a battleship.

[tomkat]

I wished !
50yo eyes just look that way sometimes.

Good lookin' craft tho f'sure - pink keel and all !

[corkoman]

If thats not pink then my undies are red lead. wait....

[sionnsar]

Sceptics of India's warship-building capability say -- with some justification -- that Indian designs borrow substantially from Russian and western warships.

Well, duh. Take what the competition has done and improve on it. This is deficient... how?

[sionnsar]

Nice pink keel

Intended to pacify American gays. And Sheriff Arpaio.

[sionnsar]

Just figured out T-Mobile’s “signature” color appears to be magenta, not pink.

[PAR35]

battleships like the INS Mumbai

Not even close. It's a destroyer with a 4 inch gun and an assortment of antiship and antiaircraft missiles.

[SIDENET]

Sweet-looking ship.

Many people use the word “battleship” as any armed naval vessel, no matter the size, not just those we know of as a battleship, i.e. the U.S.S. Alabama. BTW, if you’re ever in Mobile, Alabama, make sure you tour the battleship, WWII submarine (U.S.S. Drum) and many aircraft. http://www.ussalabama.com

"Other than (the Aegis radar), the Australian warship doesn't have much.

LMAO

Just because some folks use words incorrectly, it doesn't mean that the rest of us have to.

A destroyer (f/k/a torpedo boat destroyer) is no more a battleship than a sloop was a ship of the line.

It would be possible to argue that it could be referred to as a capital ship.
