Talk:INS Sindhurakshak (S63)

Untitled
The name is correctly translated in this article but the same name has been transaalted incorrectly for all the kilo class submaries, with sindhu being interpretted as 'sea' in this article http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sindhughosh_%28Kilo%29_Class

WikiProject class rating

Why the past tense in the very first sentence?
The submarine has sunk, but it's still intact and in commission. So it still "is" a submarine, not "was". 138.130.153.1 (talk) 08:50, 15 August 2013 (UTC)

Cause those stupids didn't know how to write an article properly. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Shah-E-Zaman (talk • contribs) 12:48, 15 August 2013 (UTC)


 * Thanks for bringing this to the talkpage. Just so you know, though, if you see something obviously wrong like that in Wikipedia, it's OK to just change it. Formerip (talk) 14:44, 15 August 2013 (UTC)

Additions to the explosion section
A faulty battery is believed to have triggered the initial (smaller) explosion and fire which then reached the torpedo room located directly above the battery storage space. However, Adm. D. K. Joshi, India’s naval chief disagrees stating that the batteries were probably not at fault. Mohan Guruswamy, a military analyst with the Observer Research Foundation, stated that some naval officers believe that the explosion was caused by human error after "munitions were mishandled" as the submarine was being prepared for deployment.

A Kilo-class submarine can carry up to 12 torpedoes in the torpedo room with an additional six in the torpedo tubes. Two types of torpedoes are used on Indian Kilo-class submarines, including the Type 53-65 anti-ship torpedo and the TEST-71 anti-submarine torpedo. The nuclear-powered submarine Kursk was lost with all hands in August 2000 after it suffered two explosions in the torpedo room, caused by a defective hydrogen peroxide Type 65-76 "Kit" (Whale) torpedo. Some versions of the Type 53-65 torpedo also use hydrogen peroxide, however it is unknown whether the Indian Navy uses them.

I have moved these addition to the article here, so that we can discuss them. The first para is nothing but contradictory speculation about the accident. There is no use of that here, specially as the navy's official report on the accident will be available on completion of their accident enquiry. I do not see how the second paragraph is relevant under the explosion section (WP:OR), and i have doubt about the reliability of the sources.

Blacklisted Links Found on the Main Page
Cyberbot II has detected that page contains external links that have either been globally or locally blacklisted. Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed, or are highly innappropriate for Wikipedia. This, however, doesn't necessarily mean it's spam, or not a good link. If the link is a good link, you may wish to request whitelisting by going to the request page for whitelisting. If you feel the link being caught by the blacklist is a false positive, or no longer needed on the blacklist, you may request the regex be removed or altered at the blacklist request page. If the link is blacklisted globally and you feel the above applies you may request to whitelist it using the before mentioned request page, or request its removal, or alteration, at the request page on meta. When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags. The whitelisting process can take its time so once a request has been filled out, you may set the invisible parameter on the tag to true. Please be aware that the bot will replace removed tags, and will remove misplaced tags regularly.

Below is a list of links that were found on the main page:

Sindhurakshak to be sunk again.
This article says the Sindhurakshak will be sunk again and be used for scuba training exercises. I do not care to add it now. Better to do so after it has been done or at least when a date is set. Richard-of-Earth (talk) 09:22, 13 February 2015 (UTC)
