Interesting how they view China as a bigger threat, cannot say they are entirely wrong in that assessment...but the rest of their surface fleet has issues too, submarines are a cheap and easy way for nations to project naval power, but even then there has to be a surface fleet component to support it.  It appears Indian desires for a larger surface presence with carriers and other capital ships has fully waned.

I wonder how long a person can stand the smell of curry cooking on a submerged sub .  ::puke::

I like curry.  However, I may not like the byproduct they be clogging the head with!

I wonder if they painted eyes on on the bow?   ::rolllaughing::

If they painted eyes on the bow and sharks teeth around
the torpedo doors what would they paint around the launch doors?

A radiation warning.

India has launched a long-range [3,100 miles] intercontinental ballistic missile able to carry a nuclear warhead, say media.

Yup.  I like how they mention it brings China into range!   ::hysterical::  How do you like that, ChiCom's?!   ;D

Sleep tight, Beijing.

More toys for Indian bubbleheads to play with, this time from America...

...hopefully they still view the Chi-Com naval threat (http://itsaboutliberty.com/index.php?topic=6518.msg73303#msg73303) more than us, and the Pak threat as well...but they are a BIRCSmate and as such I hope these don't come back on us.
