Washington:<\/strong> Defence minister Rajnath Singh on Saturday visited a modern US Navy testing facility for ships and submarines at Memphis in Tennessee at a time when India is looking at setting up a similar facility for locally produced platforms, the defence ministry said on Sunday.<\/p>\n Singh visited the William B Morgan large cavitation channel (LCC) at the Naval Surface Warfare Center in Memphis, where senior officials briefed him on one of the world\u2019s largest and most technically advanced high-speed, variable-pressure water tunnel facilities.<\/p>\n He was accompanied by senior navy and DRDO (Defence Research and Development Organisation) officials.<\/p>\n \u201cThe discussions intend to support the ongoing proposal for establishment of a similar facility for indigenous design and development in India,\u201d the defence ministry said in a statement.<\/p>\n The LCC is part of the Naval Surface Warfare Center Carderock Division, one of the US Navy\u2019s preeminent research and development facilities that specialises in critical ship and submarine design.<\/p>\n Operational since 1991, it provides significant cost savings for testing large-scale models of advanced ship and submarine system designs and full-scale torpedoes in a controlled environment, according to the US Navy.<\/p>\n It permits the US Navy to measure submarine and surface ship power, efficiency, and propeller noise by using models in a controlled but realistic environment. The facility has commercial use too.<\/p>\n Singh was greeted by deputy under secretary of the US Navy for Policy Anne Gebhards and Naval Surface Warfare Center and Undersea Warfare Center Commander Rear Admiral Todd Evans.<\/p>\n \u201cWitnessed the pathbreaking experiments at the facility. India and the US look forward to work together and benefit from each other\u2019s experiences,\u201d Singh wrote on X.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n [ad_2] [ad_1] Washington: Defence minister Rajnath Singh on Saturday visited a modern US Navy testing facility for ships and submarines at Memphis in Tennessee at a time when India is looking at setting up a similar facility for locally produced platforms, the defence ministry said on Sunday.
