The operational demo in Thiruvananthapuram must have been spectacular! It's high time we invest even more in indigenous shipbuilding and technology. A strong, self-reliant Navy is non-negotiable for a nation like India. More power to them!

While the praise is well-deserved, I hope this translates into better facilities and welfare for the sailors and their families on the ground. Celebrations are good, but sustained support is better. A respectful suggestion for the administration.
