June 18, 201016 yr From Defense Aerospace Indian Navy to Build Nuclear Submarine Base (Source: Forecast International; issued June 17, 2010) NEW DELHI --- The Indian Navy will construct a new base for its nascent nuclear submarine fleet. The project, codenamed Project Varsha, will be located on India's east coast. It will involve special features to ensure the safety of the submarines and their maintenance personnel. Reportedly the base will be modeled on the Chinese nuclear submarine base on Hainan Island, implying that it will consist of underground facilities linked to the sea by tunnels. Currently, one locally built submarine, the INS Arihant, is undergoing its criticality certification in India, while the delivery of a second, Russian-built, boat is imminent. Up to five Arihant class submarines are planned.
