toilet exploded again? A cabin explosion occurred on the Indian guided missile destroyer . According to a report by the Russian Satellite News Agency on January 18, on the night of January 18, an internal compartment explosion occurred on the Indian Navy's "Jumphut"-class guided missile destroyer "INS Ranvir D54" at the Mumbai Naval Dockyard, causing three casualties. 10 sailors were killed and 10 injured. About 340 sailors and officers were stationed on the USS Ranville at the time of the explosion. At present, the danger has been controlled on the ship and no major losses have been caused. The Indian Navy has launched an investigation.
The Indian Navy is a relatively Buddhist and half-hearted third-rate navy, and vicious accidents have often occurred. Including aircraft carriers catching fire, submarines exploding and sinking, frigates leaking, minesweepers catching fire, warships colliding with fishing boats and warships running aground. For example, in 2008, when the second-hand dock landing ship "Galashwa" purchased by India from the United States was undergoing training in the Bay of Bengal, a ruptured toilet pipe caused a hydrogen sulfide gas leak and a biogas explosion, killing an officer. and 5 sailors were killed.
On August 15, 2013, a newly overhauled and upgraded submarine of the Indian Navy, a brand-new Russian-made Kilo-class conventional submarine "Sindulakshak", was violently loaded with 3M54E Club due to violation of operating procedures. A submarine-launched cruise missile exploded outside the missile system. The missile exploded in the submarine torpedo tube, destroying the submarine, thus making India the first country in the world to have a submarine sunk by an submarine-launched missile .
On March 6, 2016, an accident occurred on the Indian aircraft carrier INS Virant in Goa. The boiler in the main room exploded, causing steam leakage and causing a fire, killing one crew member and injuring three others. The aircraft carrier was on its way back to Bangladesh after participating in the Indian maritime ship review event. The aircraft carrier was formerly the flagship of the British mixed formation in the Falklands Sea Battle, HMS Racing God, with a displacement of 26,000 tons.
In June 2019, a fire broke out in the "Vishakapatnam" guided missile destroyer built at the Mazhagaon Shipyard in India. The second and third decks of this most advanced guided missile destroyer in India ignited raging fires. for more than an hour, resulting in one death.
The guided missile destroyer "INS Ranvir" (INS Ranvir D54) is an old ship that was commissioned in 1986. It is 35 years old so far. At the same time, the 51 guided missile destroyer built by the Chinese Navy has all been retired.
The "INS Ranvir" (INS Ranvir D54) guided missile destroyer is the first-generation guided missile destroyer of the Indian Navy. It was built by the Soviet Union and is an Indian modified version of the Soviet Kashin-class guided missile destroyer. It was named the "Junkput" class guided missile destroyer.
Throughout the 1980s and 1990s, the absolute main ships of the Indian Navy were five Soviet-produced Type 61 "Kashin" class guided missile destroyers. The Indian Navy introduced five "Kashin" class destroyers in 1980. Built by the Nikolayev Commune 61 Shipyard in Ukraine (the Black Sea Shipyard, which is the factory that built the Varyag aircraft carrier, is now bankrupt), it was named the "Junk Put" class guided missile destroyer.
At present, the "Junkput" class guided missile destroyer is still the main ship of the Indian Navy. The first ship "INS Rajput" (D51) and the third ship "INS Ranjit" (D53) have been decommissioned in 2021. There are still three ships of the same type in service, which have been modified with "cloth Ramos" supersonic anti-ship missile, the ship's "Wave" (SA-N-1 "Goa") ship-to-air missile system has also undergone "digital" transformation. In addition to using the radar channel, it can also use optical The channel tracks targets and guides missiles, so it can intercept multiple low-altitude raid targets at the same time.
The "Kashin"/"Junk Put" class is the world's first guided missile destroyer using all-combustion-combustion combined power. The reason why the ship has been in the Indian Navy for such a long time is largely due to the use of gas turbine power. Relationship, if the Soviet Union's shabby steam turbine was used, it would have been scrapped long ago. The most obvious example is the Sovremenny-class destroyer of the Russian Navy.
The "Kashin"/"Junkput" class is also the world's first guided missile destroyer equipped with a large helicopter hangar and flight deck from the beginning of its design. The "Junk Put" class has a full load displacement of 5,000 tons. It is equipped with P-15M Styx anti-ship missiles, "Wave" SA-N-1 "Goa" ship-to-air missiles, and a large three-coordinate air-to-air radar. It is a ship An ocean-going combat ship with advanced and relatively balanced performance.
When India introduced five "Kashin" class destroyers in the early 1980s, they could be called the strongest guided missile destroyers in Asia at that time. At that time, the Chinese Navy was still working hard to build the Type 051 guided missile destroyer. At that time, the Chinese Navy's The main ship is a dozen backward 051 brigade-class guided missile destroyers. Therefore, the "Junk Put" class destroyer was once the envy of the Chinese Navy.
It was not until the late 1980s that the Chinese Navy began to build a new generation of guided missile destroyers whose performance completely overwhelmed the Indian "Junk Put" class destroyers. In 1988, the 112 Harbin ship, the first ship of the Type 052 guided missile destroyer, started construction at the Shanghai Jiangnan Shipyard (at this time, the Indian Navy began to build the second generation guided missile destroyer, which is also known as the Delhi-class destroyer ), and the first ship of the
51 destroyer " The keel of the "Harbin" ship was laid in May 1990 and launched in June 1991. Because it encountered many technical difficulties like India, the Harbin ship did not officially join the North Sea Fleet until May 1994. The Type 052 No. 2 ship, the 113 Qingdao ship, started construction in 1991 and was launched in October 1993. In May 1996, it joined the Navy North Sea Fleet and served.
