India Goes To Sea

James Hardy of Jane's Defense Weekly writes about the growth of India's blue water navy which, he notes, is little remarked in discussions of world armaments. His article appears in The Diplomat.

Hardy gives us an interesting and detailed discussion of INS's new platforms and capabilities. He also gives an assessment of the arena in which they will initially operate - the Indian Ocean. Hardy touches briefly on the serious problems INS has had with corruption in procurement.
