Indian warship building and ownership is a maturing industry in India. Warships are significantly different in building and maintenance philosophy than commercial liners. The GAO congressional committee report (GAO-09-322) lists these differences as ‘In Navy shipbuilding, the buyer favors the introduction of new technologies on lead ships—often at the expense of other competing demands—including fleet size. This focus—along with low volume, a relative lack of shipyard competition, and insufficient expertise—contributes to high-risk practices in Navy programs.’ Although the ‘cost’ of operational fleet is measured in strategic terms, it is imperative to develop a robust risk and safety model to chart out the tangible costs of warship building and ownership aspects of this relatively nascent enterprise in India.
