Nuclear Powered Submarine

The unexpected emergence of the Indian Navy's only nuclear powered attack submarine, the INS Chakra, in the waters of the Singapore Straits heralds the end of her service in the Indian Navy.

Using nuclear powered engines, astronauts could make the trip to Mars in half the time, and also reduce radiation exposure. Rolls Royce has previously provided the nuclear propulsion technology for the Royal Navy's submarines.

To strengthen its underwater fleet, the Indian Navy plans to build 24 submarines, including six nuclear attack submarines, a parliamentary panel was told.

The Trump administration has said that it will "sharply restrict" exports of civilian nuclear technology to China.

Drinking a bowl of seawater followed by a glass of champagne, four French officers stood out during the traditional "baptism" to mark their inaugural submarine patrol: the first women to join a crew in the country's nuclear-powered fleet.

INS Kalvari is a made-in-India submarine that has been commissioned into the Indian Navy today. The construction of INS Kalvari at the Mazgaon docks began in 2006. It has been delivered nearly four years behind the schedule. Five submarines of the same class are being built by Mazagon Dock Limited. The submarine has been designed by French naval ...

India has kick-started an ambitious project to build six nuclear-powered attack submarines that is expected to boost the Navy's overall strike capabilities in the face of China's naval build-up and increasing military maneuvering in the Indo-Pacific region.
