INS Shivalik
MUMBAI: India on Friday unveiled to the world its capability to incorporate stealth technology for military purposes with the launching of "Shivalik," a warship which has this system, at Mazagon Dock here.
At 1 pm, Kaumudi Kumari, wife of Admiral Madhvendra Singh, chief of naval staff, broke a coconut on the warship's hull and named the vessel after a Himalayan peak. She then pressed the launch trigger and the new radar-evading warship, resplendent in its colourful buntings, slid down the slipway to the strains of 'Sare Jahan Se Achha." [TOI]
This is just awesome, I searched for some pics but havnt been able to find any so far. Any sources?
Sare Jahan Se Accha, its almost becoming a pseudo-national song or something. Yuck, I hate it... Absolutely despise it... I hope Iqbal's word rang true for him when he decided to go to Pakistan after the partition. ;)
