Seagulls gonna sea gull....

The pic didnt attach first time, here it is (hopefully):

I will get around to hopefully asking a boiler tech later when they poke their head up....I am loosely acquainted with a couple of them elsewhere. From what I know (very roughly), this kind of stuff is a bit of a dark art...that engineers (though we have "engine" in our name) cant really wrap...

Welcome! Enjoy the forum :)

I think those are struts on mast to house things like the smaller navigation radar antennae and the ELLORA ECM jammers (also found on kolkata class in same way). https://medium.com/indo-pacific-geomill/indian-navy-kolkata-class-destroyers-d39fad8662e0

Around 6 years (18 x 4) it looks like (for 4000 tons) at MDL. Terrible. India needs to get this time halved or more. Needs lot more investment and lower bureaucratic mess. Decent labour supply should not be a problem.

Nothing confirmed on that. Gowind is used as placeholder for NGC/NGOPV...it could be likely candidate given the naval-group MOU with GRSE, but we have to see. https://www.janes.com/defence-news/news-detail/grse-naval-group-team-on-gowind-vessels

From the commissioning ceremony:

Need to introduce a heat source some way, there is no ignition system that works with these boilers as far as I know....given the working fluid is steam. IIRC it has to do with the system not wanting to accumulate water in critical spots by condensation...that causes the design to be all weird...

The issue is McMahon drawing a line when China (due to Qing empire long term decay) was not present at any strength in Tibet past a nominal suzerainty. When the nationstates/republics of PRC and India came into being post WW2...the latter found itself inheriting what the British drew...

I wonder if habitat pressure does this to Tigers....to cooperate more to gain same amount of resources etc. I remember they are unable to eat a large kill solitarily....so over time I think other tigers may have scavenged with an "alpha" etc...and over time they get accustomed to having each...

Quite fascinating to me, this is standard procedure for boilers this size. I am assuming this is wasp class LHD.
