    It's interesting to note that is the Vinhyagiri had been a more modern design, she might have not burned and foundered. Internal watertight subdivision and propultion methods has come a long was sinch the 1960's when the British Leander class(of which the Indian Nilgiri class is a copy) was designed. I'm glad no one was injured in this incident, although I'm sure a few careers have been scuttled!

    Absolutely. It's a minor miracle no one was harmed.

    On family/open house days, I've had as many as six people in a tank turret designed for three people.

    It was okay, though, because several of them were hawt wimmenz. :yes:

    How ignonimous. Downright fucking humiliating, in fact. The crew of that frigate must be beyond bummed.

    It's INDIA. If they're not walking on top of each other, something's wrong!
