@shiv_cybersurg VLCCs/ULCCs (super tankers) rarely berth inside ports. They load/discharge their cargo mostly at SBMs & lightering by conducting STS operations. Many Indian ports have SBMs (Jamnagar, Kochi, Mangalore, Paradip)

Here is something learned today. The world's heaviest supertankers are 500,000 tonnes or more, and need water depth of 25-26 meters to berth.
Guess what?
India has ZERO 0⃣ ports that can take Ultra heavy tankers.
Only the Rahul Gandhi fraand and Adani has a port (Mundra - those gujjus again!!) that takes tankers up to 350,000 tonnes, with a depth of about 20-21 meters
Super heavy tankers bound for crude to India must unload at Singapore or in the Gulf and transfer to smaller tankers.
For this reason a deep water port is a good idea in the A&N Islands.

@RupakChatto Is/was not the definition of "martial race" as people with low intellect and high bravado?
English
Let us not forget that the Martial were subjucated by British led and Indian officered non-Martial race armies. The Martial race armies were barely literate and were British led AND British officered.

What motivates a US soldier to fight for some random issue 12000 km away from his home? They are not fighting for their land? What are they brainwashed to believe they are fighting for? For the guy next to him?

@somnath1978 Optics, the merchant vessel transited Hormuz (high risk area) w/o naval escort, the IN ships joined much later in gulf of oman!

Why wud the tanker feel in danger in the open expanse of the Arabian Sea? Unless we think IRGC Navy is hunting ships in open seas, why do we need heavy escorts here?
Shiv Aroor@ShivAroor
What a haunting image. After days of white-knuckling it through the perilous Strait of Hormuz, cannot imagine how reassuring it must be for this India-bound gas tanker to be received & safely led through the Arabian Sea by that @IndianNavy P15B destroyer.

@RupakChatto @SubhasisDu73438 People of WB have resigned to their fate. When the median populace is overwhelmingly riff raff and also the majority vote bank, this kind of brazen behaviour is the norm!

@SubhasisDu73438 I don't understand this status quoist mindset. Well managed public spaces are a public good.

I dream of a day when this happens in India. Except it never will.
This has been a personal peeve. From the professional to personal sphere, I've never been able to cope with the phenomenon called "Indian standard time."

🚨 A Japanese minister arrived 5 minutes late — and apologized to the entire country A minister in Japan arrived five minutes late to a meeting with the Prime Minister and immediately issued a public apology to the people. Speaking to the press, she explained that the delay was caused by traffic congestion. In a country where punctuality is taken very seriously, even a small delay can lead to a public explanation.

South Africa is the most useless and weightless country in BRICS. Small size, small economy, small population, no military power, no nukes, no space capabilities.
And funnily enough they gained entry only because of India. It wasn’t even a founding member.

No big deal - USN realises one lonely frigate - poor thing - had gone for IFR. No way they're going to let it sail back into Iranian waters.
Some nearby sub would have been given the order and kaboom.
In which world are they going to let one frigate go back safely?
