Boosting India's Economic Growth Through Shipbuilding: A Strategic Roadmap

India’s ambitious plan to develop a state-backed fleet marks a major shift in its shipbuilding policy. Currently, the country accounts for less than one percent of global ship production, lagging behind nations like China, Japan, and South Korea. This initiative aims to strengthen India’s maritime sector and reduce reliance on imports by ensuring demand for locally built ships. The reliance on foreign-made vessels has led to an annual capital outflow of nearly two billion dollars, a figure that could be significantly reduced by encouraging domestic manufacturing.

The Ministry of Ports, Shipping, and Waterways (MoPSW) has directed key ministries, including petroleum, steel, fertilizers, coal, and textiles, to develop plans for state-run shipping fleets. This move is expected to create stable demand for Indian-built ships, making the sector attractive for investment. Countries such as South Korea and Japan have successfully implemented similar models, leading to their dominance in the global shipbuilding market. India is now looking to replicate their success and establish itself as a key player in the industry.

THE MOORS By: Dr. Leroy Vaughn, MD, MBA. A Dynamic, Honest and Powerful View of Black History.

During the European Dark Ages, between the 7th and 14th century AD, the Moorish Empire in Spain became one of the world's finest civilizations. General Tarik and his Black Moorish army from Morocco, conquered Spain after a week-long battle with King Roderick in 711 AD. (The word tariff and the Rock of Gibraltar were named after him). They found that Europe, with the assistance of the Catholic Church, had returned almost to complete barbarism. The population was 90% illiterate and had lost all of the civilizing principles that were passed on by the ancient Greeks and Romans. The Moors reintroduced mathematics, medicine, agriculture, and the physical sciences. Arabic figures including the zero and the decimal point replaced the clumsy Roman numerals. As Dr. Van Sertima says, "You can't do higher mathematics with Roman numerals." The Moors introduced agriculture to Europe including cotton, rice, sugar cane, dates, ginger, lemons, and strawberries. They also taught them how to store grain for up to 100 years and built underground grain silos. They established a world-famous silk industry in Spain. The Moorish achievement in hydraulic engineering was outstanding. They constructed an aqueduct, that conveyed water from the mountains to the city through lead pipes from the mountains to the city. They taught them how to mine for minerals on a large scale, including copper, gold, silver, tin, lead, and aluminium. Spain soon became the world centre for high-quality sword blades and shields. Spain was eventually manufacturing up to 12,000 blades and shields per year. Spanish craft and woollen became world famous. The Moorish craftsman also produced world-class glass, pottery, vases, mosaics, and jewellery. The Moors introduced to Europe paved, lighted streets with raised sidewalks for pedestrians, flanked by uninterrupted rows of buildings. Paved and lighted streets did not appear in London or Paris for centuries. They constructed thousands of public markets and mills in each city. Cordova alone had 5,000 of each. They were also introduced to Spain's underwear and bathing with soap. Their public baths numbered in the thousands when bathing in the rest of Europe was frowned upon as a diabolical custom to be avoided by all good Christians. Poor hygiene contributed to the plagues in the rest of Europe. Moorish monarchs dwelled in sumptuous palaces while the crowned heads of England, France, and Germany lived in barns, lacking windows, toilets, and chimneys, with only a hole in the roof as the exit for smoke. Human waste material was thrown in the streets since no bathrooms were present. Education was made mandatory by the Moors, while 90% of Europe was illiterate, including the kings and queens. The Moors introduced public libraries to Europe with 600,000 books in Cordova alone. They established 17 outstanding universities in Spain. Since Africa is a matriarchal society, women were also encouraged to devote themselves to serious study, and it was only in Spain that one could find female doctors, lawyers, and scientists. Moorish schoolteachers knew that the world was round and taught geography from a globe. They produced expert maps with all sea and land routes accurately located with respect to latitude and longitude; while also introducing compasses to Europe. They were such expert shipbuilders that they were able to use their geography expertise to import and export as far away as India and China. It was not by accident that a Moor named Pietro Olonzo Nino was the chief navigator for Christopher Columbus on the flagship Santa Maria. He is said to have argued with Columbus as to who really discovered America. One of the worst mistakes the Moors made was to introduce gunpowder technology from China into Europe because their enemies adopted this weapon and used it to drive them out of Spain. #Africa

whats a clipper ship and why is it better (i assume) than other ships and why is it important to the story. they never made me read moby dick in school so I'm genuinely interested

HELLO HELLO imback on my PUTER so i can type so so fast SO FIRST OF ALL genuinely clipper ships are not important to moby dick at all lmao 💀i just like them cos theyre the fastest sailing ships ever so uhh quick breakdown

clippers are the product of american shipbuilders putting a packet ship-esque build on a larger merchant ship

a packet ship is a sort of ship that was small and fast, used specifically for trips from america's east coast to england, usually liverpool. these fuckers were the fastest ships when they were built, and many many sailors died on their voyages bc the captains tried to make em fast as possible

so. we've got tiny fast ship. we've also got large slow merchant ships used in britian for the china and india trade. we've got a man (donald mckay) who rlly likes building ships and is good at his job. puts a packet-esque build on a large-scale ship

for context: the british ships were referred to as 'kettle-bottoms' cos they had flat bottoms that were built mostly to avoid stupid tonnage laws (that the british put in place) (everybody fuckin hated the tonnage laws) and the clippers had a much more streamlined bottom & a differently shaped rudder. they also carried a fuckton of sail, had 3 mainmasts and around 4 sails on each of those

SO the clipper was built. first used for shit like the china trade in the 1840s, then later on until around 1855-56 used as transportation to california for the gold rush. theyre most commonly recognized for the gold rush stuff cos they had to swing round cape horn every single time & that place is fucked UPP for sailing

so these babygirls are the fastest sailing ships ever built (the most notable one technically being the lightning, she was very VERY fast) (my favourite being the sea witch, from when the clippers were still kinda in Prototype Mode)

so yeah these speedy fucks kind of heralded in the end of the age of sail. they were built, had their beautiful and sexy and fleeting run, and then everything turned to motTHER FUCKING STEAM SHIPS FUCK FUCK PISS SHIT

and uhhh that is most of it LMAO but the ships used in the whaling industry were. just called whaling ships 💀💀or smth. ive been trying to find more info on them & on whaling but the most ive found is a 100-pg book of whaling anecdotes which are GOOD but dont tell me anything abt the ships they sailed on other than that the people who hunted whales up north were the ones who invented the crows nest!!!!!!!! auaugh!!!!!

& take all this w a grain of salt bc im fully j dragging it from my memory of arther h clarks book on clippers. im onlhy in the beginning stages of reading clippers: greyhounds of the sea (which has MUCH more information!! very pog) so. that is how it is lmao. unironically thank u so much for asking this im having the timeof my life rn :)

nationalize amazon and get it into the shipbuilding and maritime shipping industry. give it its own shipyard and port too.

should turn it into the american east india company. something resembling china's cosco group.

[kemetic-dreams]

Why did the British ship building industry fall?

For a long list of interrelated reasons which in an odd way mostly had little to do with each other, though most people have always thought they did.

First, because the British Empire ceased to exist, which meant that British shipping lines like P&O and Union Castle no longer required lots of tonnage to take ‘commuter’ traffic back and forth

Second, because after World War Two countries that had formerly had their ships built in Britain began to build them for themselves, or identified shipbuilding as a vital economic step in their own recovery, and then as an export. Most notably Japan, (West) Germany, France. India.

Third because in the 1950s and 60s what with national bankruptcy and the loss of empire, Britain had no strategic need to even think of maintaining the Royal Navy at pre WW2 levels.

Fourth because before WW2 British coal shipped in British ships was a major export, and afterwards wasn’t.

Fifth because the kind of new ships that the world did want, and the kind of techniques that were increasingly used to build them, were beyond the capacity of existing British shipyards and their localities.

Sixth because there was no consensus between the trades unions and successive British governments about how to recreate, rationalise, save, make prosperous, or simply justify the existence of a major shipbuilding industry in Britain. The unions attempted to dig in to defend old-style working methods in order to retain the employment of their various crafts. Governments - even sympathetic Labour governments - could neither place enough orders or invest enough in the way of subsidies to keep the shipbuilders in business.

Seventh because the already much reduced and out-competed British fishing industry was finally torpedoed by the EU.

Eighth because air transportation took most of the market for passenger vessels away.

Ninth because major British sources of finance were not prepared to offer venture capital to an industry riddled with inter-union trades disputes and political intrigue.

Tenth because British government finance concentrated on what it thought was the Future, namely the aircraft industry

And, my word! Eleventh, because the British steel industry could not, would not, or wasn’t allowed to provide the quality of material and quantity of material to give British shipbuilding an ‘edge’ against foreign competition.

RAF Typhoons participate in large-scale international exercise in Qatar

Fernando Valduga By Fernando Valduga 28/11/2023 - 15:58in Military

Typhoon fighters of the XI Squadron (Hunting) of the British Royal Air Force (RAF) participated in a major international exercise in Qatar.

The exercise known as Ferocious Falcon V involved forces from Qatar, France, Italy, Turkey and the United States. The RAF Coningsby Base Typhoons also joined elements of the 1º Scottish Guard Battalion and HMS Lancaster.

The exercise led by Qatar was designed to bring together partner forces to increase combat efficiency and increase unity. The exercise also strengthens the bonds of friendship, support for joint action and the exchange of experiences with these countries.

The Captain of the Bishop Group accepts a gift from the Qatar Emirates Air Force

Elements of Qatar's land, naval and air forces participated in the exercise. The goal of the emirate of Qatar was for all military personnel from the participating countries to gain experience on the ground and strengthen international relations through cooperation in various missions.

“This exercise provided greater exposure to our allies in the Extended Middle East, facilitating advanced training and integration. The small deployment of specialized pilots and engineers provided 100% exercise mission completion rates and the opportunity to work closely with international allies was invaluable," said Squadron Leader Hodgkinson, Commander of Squadron XI (F). "Squad XI (F) Squadron, like the rest of the Typhoon Force, is ready to project air combat around the world. We completed the Bersama Lima Exercise in Malaysia and then returned to the Middle East for this exercise, reflecting the agility and resilience that the squadron and aircraft offer".

The RAF Typhoons flying from a Qatari air base conducted Defensive Counter-Air training with the other nations participating in the exercise. Qatar is an important defense partner of the United Kingdom and currently two joint squadrons of the RAF - United Arab Emirates Air Force operate based in the United Kingdom.

THE MOORS

During the European Dark Ages, between the 7th and 14th century AD, the Moorish Empire in Spain became one of the world's finest civilizations. General Tarik and his Black Moorish army from Morocco, conquered Spain after a week-long battle with King Roderick in 711 AD. (The word tariff and the Rock of Gibraltar were named after him). They found that Europe, with the assistance of the Catholic Church, had returned almost to complete barbarism. The population was 90% illiterate and had lost all of the civilizing principles that were passed on by the ancient Greeks and Romans.

The Moors reintroduced mathematics, medicine, agriculture, and the physical sciences. Arabic figures including the zero and the decimal point replaced the clumsy Roman numerals. As Dr. Van Sertima says, "You can't do higher mathematics with Roman numerals." The Moors introduced agriculture to Europe including cotton, rice, sugar cane, dates, ginger, lemons, and strawberries. They also taught them how to store grain for up to 100 years and built underground grain silos. They established a world-famous silk industry in Spain. The Moorish achievement in hydraulic engineering was outstanding.

They constructed an aqueduct, that conveyed water from the mountains to the city through lead pipes from the mountains to the city. They taught them how to mine for minerals on a large scale, including copper, gold, silver, tin, lead, and aluminium. Spain soon became the world centre for high-quality sword blades and shields. Spain was eventually manufacturing up to 12,000 blades and shields per year. Spanish craft and woollen became world famous. The Moorish craftsman also produced world-class glass, pottery, vases, mosaics, and jewellery.

The Moors introduced to Europe paved, lighted streets with raised sidewalks for pedestrians, flanked by uninterrupted rows of buildings. Paved and lighted streets did not appear in London or Paris for centuries. They constructed thousands of public markets and mills in each city. Cordova alone had 5,000 of each. They were also introduced to Spain's underwear and bathing with soap. Their public baths numbered in the thousands when bathing in the rest of Europe was frowned upon as a diabolical custom to be avoided by all good Christians.

Poor hygiene contributed to the plagues in the rest of Europe. Moorish monarchs dwelled in sumptuous palaces while the crowned heads of England, France, and Germany lived in barns, lacking windows, toilets, and chimneys, with only a hole in the roof as the exit for smoke. Human waste material was thrown in the streets since no bathrooms were present. Education was made mandatory by the Moors, while 90% of Europe was illiterate, including the kings and queens. The Moors introduced public libraries to Europe with 600,000 books in Cordova alone. They established 17 outstanding universities in Spain.

Since Africa is a matriarchal society, women were also encouraged to devote themselves to serious study, and it was only in Spain that one could find female doctors, lawyers, and scientists. Moorish schoolteachers knew that the world was round and taught geography from a globe. They produced expert maps with all sea and land routes accurately located concerning latitude and longitude; while also introducing compasses to Europe.

They were such expert shipbuilders that they were able to use their geography expertise to import and export as far away as India and China. It was not by accident that a Moor named Pietro Olonzo Nino was the chief navigator for Christopher Columbus on the flagship Santa Maria.

He is said to have argued with Columbus as to who really discovered America. One of the worst mistakes the Moors made was to introduce gunpowder technology from China into Europe because their enemies adopted this weapon and used it to drive them out of Spain.

Europe then took the 700 years of civilization and education re-taught to them by the Moors and used this knowledge to attack Africa. While the Moors were re-civilizing Europe, great empires were thriving in Western Africa and frequently traded with the Moors.

These included the empires of Ghana, Mali, and Songhay, which prospered between 700 AD and 1600 AD. Africa was not a dark continent awaiting European civilization. In fact, Black African Egyptians and Black African Moors are credited with civilizing Europe."
