After India became a country with dual aircraft carriers , it further fueled its ambition to build a strong navy. After its neighboring countries developed and equipped eight Type 055 10,000-ton cruise ships, which greatly improved the overall strength of the navy, India also has further "future plans" and is determined to build its own 10,000-ton cruise ship.
India not only wants to build its own 10,000-ton diesel engine to compete with its neighboring countries' Type 055 10,000-ton diesel engine, but it also wants to do everything possible to overpower the Type 055 10,000-ton diesel engine. Your 055 model is fully loaded with 
2500 tons of , I will increase the maximum tonnage of the new destroyer to 5000 tons of ; your 055 model will be the first batch of 8 s to be built and put into service, our new model will be manufactured and equipped with 0 ships. In short, it is to overshadow the 55 destroyer in the limelight.
In the eyes of the outside world, India is completely on par with its neighboring countries in terms of naval construction, and has a tendency to catch up. This can be seen from India's plan for a 10,000-ton cruise ship. It means overtaking the Type 055 destroyer in a corner and winning the title of "the first ship in Asia". India's ambitions have to impress the outside world.
India has experience and experience in developing the "Calcutta" class destroyer with a full load displacement of 7,500 tons. With its shipbuilding industry, it can mobilize the whole country to enlarge the size of the ship to more than 10,000 tons based on the 7,500-ton destroyer. At least in theory, it is feasible.
It’s just India’s own 10,000-ton destroyer that exceeds the size of the Type 055 destroyer. It takes longer and costs more than its neighboring countries. The avionics equipment, power systems, shipboard weapon systems, etc. on all Type 055 destroyers in neighboring countries are all domestically produced equipment.
India is different. The power system includes gas turbine , power supply system; active phased array radar system, ship-borne vertical launcher, 127mm naval gun system, close-in anti-gun system, long-range air defense missile system, chaff decoy interference launcher, anti-submarine helicopter , etc.
India's own scientific researchers are unable to handle the above-mentioned shipboard equipment and facilities required to manufacture 0,000-ton large-scale propellers. They need to spend a large amount of US dollars to purchase and equip equipment from different countries such as the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, Israel, Russia, and Ukraine.
refers to the construction of the first ship of the 7,500-ton "Calcutta" class destroyer, which took a full 10 years. The hull is designed by Italy, and the shipboard command system is provided by Canada; the fire control system is synthesized by the United States, Britain, France and other countries.
In addition, radar comes from Israel and Britain and France, VLS devices are provided by the United States and Russia, anti-aircraft missiles are supplied by Israel, naval guns are purchased from Italy and Russia, hull steel is provided by Russia, gas turbines are supplied by Ukraine, etc.
The main equipment on the "Calcutta" class destroyer is purchased and imported. Although it is labeled as domestically produced in India, the core equipment on the ship comes from abroad. It is called the " universal warship" by the outside world. Netizens who pay attention to the development trends of surface ship equipment of the Indian Navy can draw this conclusion.
According to PPT information about the new Indian Navy's new cruiser, the planned new cruiser will have a full load displacement of 12,000-15,000 tons, a 72-unit VLS device at the bow, and a 48-72-unit VLS device in the middle of the hull, which means that the Indian new cruiser will have a 120-144-unit shipboard vertical launcher.
Judging from the PPT of the new drive released by India, the tonnage and shipboard vertical launcher of the new drive have exceeded the Type 055 10,000-ton large drive with a full load displacement of 12,500 tons and a 112-unit VLS device. In these parameters, it has surpassed the Type 055 destroyer.
The new driver still stays on PPT , but its published data is indeed very beautiful . Not only the size and tonnage, but also the number of VLS devices have surpassed the currently recognized most powerful global combat ship. The Type 055 destroyer named "CG-Cruiser" by NATO is enough to make Indian netizens revel on the Internet.
According to information announced by India, it will complete the construction of 10 future 10,000-ton cruise ships before 2035. By then, its third aircraft carrier will also be included, making it one of the most advanced naval powers in the world.
However, there is often a certain gap between reality and planning. Especially for India, building its own 10,000-ton destroyer is not as simple as enlarging the 7,500-ton destroyer into the hull. It involves extremely complex system engineering in all aspects. I am afraid that India’s current shipbuilding industry may not be able to complete it before 2035. When the
055 10,000-ton large drive was still being built at Shanghai Jiangnan Shipyard, the opinions of officers and soldiers were required for the design of every detail. The naval officers and soldiers on board the ship expressed an opinion that the height of the passage in the helicopter cabin area was not high enough, which affected the efficiency of personnel and equipment passage.
After the design drawings had been frozen and the state of the hull was basically solidified, technicians re-accurately calculated the number and size of pipes and cables, overturned the original plan, changed the local structure, optimized the cabin layout, and effectively improved the circulation environment for personnel and equipment.
In short, India plans to build 10 10,000-ton large-scale propellers, surpassing its neighboring countries’ 8 Type 055 10,000-ton large-scale propellers. This is reflected in the tonnage and VLS device. India’s dream of building a strong military is understandable and should not be ridiculed.
However, the Indian Navy's aspirations and capabilities have never been proportional, but in the eyes of the outside world, it is that is obvious to all. The launch of many weapons and equipment has the problem of being too ambitious. In the end, few models could meet the original design requirements, or the project was delayed again and again. For example, the aircraft carrier "Vikrant" was launched three times, which is a unique phenomenon in the world. There are many real cases like this.
The dilemma facing the Indian shipbuilding industry is that many equipment cannot be domestically produced in a short time, and a large amount of foreign exchange needs to be purchased from all over the world. India has a lot of colorful banknotes and money in its hands. It has no worries about not being able to buy relevant equipment. It likes to sell equipment and arms to the "third brother".
The problem is that spending money to buy a lot of foreign equipment, different systems, different standards, seamlessly integrated into one ship is enough to give Indian ship designers a headache and . How can it be such a simple thing to build a 10,000-ton cruise ship? In 2035, India will complete the construction of 10 10,000-ton cruise ships.
