Good hunting and don't forget to close the hatch!

The modern submarine is not a simple machine. A loss of propulsion, unexpected flooding, or trouble with reactors or weapons can doom a sub crew to a watery grave. Also, it’s a good idea to, like, close the hatches before you dive. The incident is also quite an embarrassment — and strategic concern — for the Indian Armed Forces. A Russian Akula-class attack sub modified to accommodate a variety of ballistic missiles, the Arihant represented a major advance in India's nuclear triad after its completion in October 2016. (India in 1974 became the 6th country to conduct a successful nuclear test.)
Indeed, the Arihant's ability to deliver K-15 short-range and K-4 intermediate-range nuclear missiles was envisioned as a powerful deterrent against India's uneasy nuclear state neighbor, Pakistan.
"Arihant is the most important platform within India's nuclear triad covering land-air-sea modes," the Hindu reports (https://www.thehindu.com/news/national/ins-arihant-left-crippled-after-accident-10-months-ago/article22392049.ece). Well, it's important if it works— and it probably helps to make your submarine watertight.
This is just some sloppy, dangerous seamanship, and the Indian Navy better get its act together fast. Either that, or perhaps follow the Royal Navy's lead and install the 2001-era Windows XP as an operating system on all your most vital vessels (https://taskandpurpose.com/queen-elizabeth-aircraft-carrier-windows-xp/). That way, you can blame the blue screen of death instead of "human error" for the next critical foul-up. Although even outdated software probably knows enough to dog down on all the hatches. the big WOOPS meets K.I.S.S. :k_confused:
