Shivalik Class (Project 17/17A) & Talwar Class Frigates

Do you know what is mazagon's time frame for upcoming destroyers? China would build an aircraft carrier with same time frame

China also has enough orders to manage workers for all three shifts. When we build 4 ships, they build 20.

We will get there soon enough though, as we get richer.

Afaik p15b isnt following modular construction method.

I haven't checked it myself, but MDL's modular construction capabilities becoming available and the P-15Bs keel laying began at around the same time.

According to MDL, they said they need 6 years to build a destroyer and 5 years to build a frigate using modular construction. And both P-15B and P-17A seem to be following such timelines.

Here's p15b's keel laying ceremony.notice how small the part is compared to the p17a's module .IMO even if they are using modular construction both arnt same.

I don't know much about ship constuction, so I don't know how to tell the different processes apart. Maybe even without modular construction they have managed to bring the destroyer time down to 6 years.

Where did you get it ? I don't recall any such news being put out by Indian media. Wasn't this during the Indonesia-China naval stand off ?

Nopes, but I am trying to find images of hull block fabrication by other P17A subcontractors- Chowgule, Titagargh & DDCL.

I guess you mean this. All the blocks shown in green were supposed to be subcontracted to other yards. One of the blocks in the pic does seem to be the stern block with provision for stern tube to pass through.

Obviously you can post it to to twitter. The images belong to MDL, Shoft & MDL respectively.
 
Thank you. So it was Shavlik that was deployed. I'll post it tomorrow on SF twitter. :)
