India's First Ballistic Missile Sub Ready for Sea Trials
Source: Global Security Newswire
India's first ballistic missile submarine is primed to begin sea trials now that its shipboard atomic reactor has achieved critical status, the Indian Tribune newspaper reported on Sunday.
"The nuclear reactor that will power the submarine can be formally declared 'critical' anytime now, while the nuclear-tipped missiles to be launched from underwater are in place," an informed insider said.
The INS Arihant will likely not leave harbor until the middle of next month at the earliest, when India's seasonal heavy rains have subsided, according to sources.
Once the domestically built submarine is at sea, the strategic vessel will progressively be supplied with its missiles and other munitions. Assessments will be conducted after each new weapon is added.

..more death and destruction under the waves. 
I suppose the Indians and Pakistanis wont be satisfied until they can annihilate each other 100 times over, like us and the Russians. 
They obviously are misappropriating money.
