EXPERIENCE TO NAVAL DOCKYARD

I’ve not been able to update in a while. You see tragically, I have dipped from confusion to disarray of things happening in my field. I’m trying to cover the trodden-ground, still seeking a way out of the morass of my predicament and from some of the gloomy experiences. But sooner or later, I would come out of it, and then I can meet real challenges in life. I guess I should stop whining. And these gloomy experiences are not going to stop achieve my dreams.

In the meanwhile I have crossed a great experience by visiting Naval Dockyard in my place Visakhapatnam.

Wow! Such a great experience was that!!! No-one day can be too significant, but that day really made me feels proud to be an Indian. Though I’m staying in Visakhapatnam, I was not aware of Naval Dockyard in my place…. such a strange thing it is!!

First we stepped on to the DRYDOCKS and SLIPWAY department. All the repairs, installation of torpedoes, and maintenance of war ships take place in this department. It also has facilities to slip/un-slip vessels upto 600 tons. On the average, 5-8 ships are dry-docked and slipway.

This was the picture of submarine at dry dock. Water that seem to us will be sent out through a large hole. And then the repairs will takes place to submarines.

Secondly we have stepped on to INS Jalashwa, country’s most modern war ship. Two hours is not even sufficient to visit the whole ship. It has a facility to land four helicopters at a time. After the Mumbai terror attack, all the vulnerable places and establishments have come under strict security blanket. If war breaks out between India and Pakistan, Visakhapatnam is likely to be a prime target. According to these sources, the Indian Navy has moved six of its most powerful war ships. These include country’s most modern INS Jalashwa.

I have not really said much about this dockyard. Because I have no time to update right now, I’m supposed to utilize the coming every second to be in my field.Anyhow this trip has made me happy, at least overcoming of unhappiness for one day.
