    Just wondering how could this happen ? This is sheer lack of negligence and safety checks. Imagining such a big ship slipping off the dock from the centre locks is just ridiculous. Extend of damage is another thing to be considered. With such an accident, will it be able that this ship can be in service further at full range ?? This frigate ship is backbone of our Indian Navy and if we keep loosing our defence equipment in some way or the other, then it would be a great loss for the country as the tax payers money is invested in strengthing the countrys defence force. Hope the culprits who were involved in lack of safety shall be identified and severely punished. Jai Hind !
