國際中心/綜合報導

印度F-39貝特瓦號飛彈巡防艦(INS Betwa)於5日在孟買維修,駛出船塢時傾斜翻覆,造成2人死亡,14人受傷。印度近年走向自產軍艦,2018年還有自產航空母艦要正式成軍,期望能牽制中國在海上的軍力。不過隨著軍艦翻覆,航母又被美國唱衰,印度海軍自產軍艦這條路將走得十分艱辛。

印度海軍發言人表示,貝特瓦號要出船塢時,疑似船塢墩木失效,導致往左側翻,「這次狀況十分嚴重,以前從未發生過。」貝特瓦號是布拉馬普特拉級飛彈巡防艦,排水量3850噸,比台灣的拉法葉級巡防艦還大,配有印度自行開發的CDS作戰指揮系統,整合各國艦載武器和電子設備;主要武器為1門76毫米艦炮、4個俄製SS-N-25反艦導彈發射裝置、3個以色列巴拉克艦空導彈垂發裝置(Barak 8)、4門俄製AK-630近防炮和2個魚雷發射管,艦載機可配2架SH-3海王直升機。

印度海軍實力近年來不斷提升,自產開發各類型的軍艦,2013首艘國產航空母艦「維克朗特號」也高調下水,象徵正式加入「世界航母建造國俱樂部」。不過根據《華爾街日報》(The Wall Street Journal)報導,美國海軍想藉由印度制衡中國,因此派員視察印度航母的建造狀況,不料卻發現該艦無小型飛彈系統自衛,發射戰機架次有限,也沒有列出明確的作戰計畫,預估在10年內還無作戰能力。

維克朗特號排水量約4萬0000噸,全長262公尺、全寬60公尺、吃水8.4公尺、深度25.6公尺、最高航速每小時52公里,續航距離1萬5000公里,最多可搭載1400人。印度審計部(Indian state audit)今年7月發布報告,承造維克朗特號的船廠因缺乏經驗,已花費30億美元(約新台幣953億元)而且進度落後5年,恐怕無法於2018年正式成軍。

如今,印度航母生產延遲,自製的飛彈巡防艦又發生重大意外,又要至少多花6個月進行維修,美國擔心印度堅持國機國艦都要自產,會讓機艦的現代化嚴重落後;如果印度能接受美國提供技術支援,將能大幅增強海軍實力,增強對中國制衡的能力。

AFTER ACCIDENT, INS BETWA MAY NOT SET SAIL AGAIN


The ship that tipped over, killing two sailors and injuring 14, has suffered extensive damages.

Top naval officers feel that the way in which the INS Betwa tipped over inside the naval dockyard on Monday, her services may not be used again, as she has been severely damaged.

Two naval personnel Ashutosh Pande and Niraj Rai (both engineers) died in the accident and 14 were injured. The injured were taken to the INHS Asvini at Colaba.

The incident took place at
1.50 pm when the Brahmaputra class guided missile frigate was being undocked.

Naval spokesperson Commander Rahul Sinha said, “At about 1.50 pm today, INS Betwa, a frigate of the Indian Navy, was in the process of undocking in Naval Dockyard when she slipped from her dock blocks and tilted. Immediate action was taken to get all personnel to safety. Two sailors however, succumbed to injuries post the incident.”

Technical evaluation for making the ship upright is in progress and an inquiry into the incident has been ordered, he added.

Sources in the dockyard said that the ship has been severely damaged and even after a refit and repairs, she may not be put to use again.

In the last four to five years, the western naval command has witnessed a series of accidents and the largest one was a fire in submarine Sindhurakshak that had killed 18 personnel and officers in 2013. Little over a year ago, then Admiral Robin Dhowan had warned the western naval command asking them to cut down on human error.

Soon after the incident, senior officers visited the spot. A team of city police officers led by deputy commissioner Manoj Sharma visited the spot and registered a case of accidental death.

About the ship

INS Betwa is a Brahmaputra Class Guided Missile frigate and is named after Betwa river. She has a displacement of 3850 tons and is 126.4 metres in length. She was commissioned on July 7, 2004.

The Brahmaputra class frigates are the guided-missile frigates of the Indian Navy, designed and built in India. They have a displacement of 3850 tons and a length of 126 metres. Although of similar hull and dimension, internally, the Brahmaputra and Godavari classes have different configurations, armaments and capabilities. The shipclass has acquired its name owing to the ‘River Brahmaputra’. Other ships of the class are also named after Indian Rivers.

Betwa was a part of Task Force 54, returning from the Mediterranean, when the 2006 Israel-Lebanon Conflict broke out. As a part of Operation Sukoon, Betwa participated in the evacuation of Indian citizens from Lebanon to Cyprus.
