Submarines are a risky business to deal with fraught with danger. The worst accident to occur in recent memory involving a submarine is the Kursk with was lost to the Barents sea after a massive explosion with all lives lost. The sinking of the INS Sindhurakshak ought to be a wake up call to the Indian navy to take immediate steps to induct deep water rescue platforms that will be required should such a mishap occur in deep sea. Indian Navy still rely on the USN for such a rescue platform. Urgent steps ought to be taken as India is in the process of inducting high value submarine platforms like the INS Arihant and her follow up ships along with Scorpene cl;ass subs.

| Remembering all those brave soldiers who sacrificed their lives in service of the motherland |
My deep felt prayers and condolences to all those brave sailors who lost their lives in today's mishap. It ought to be remembered that even if India inducts high tech platforms, a soldiers life is more valuable as they are the people who sacrifice their lives so that India can be protected and no enemy dare to touch us. It is our bounden duty to take good care of these brave sons and daughters of this great mother land. Our condolences to those who lost their lives. The nation would be always be of gratitude to you with all those who lost their lives on the line of duty.
