The Indian Navy has developed substantial capabilities around its own requirements. It retains useful British practices and borrows effective ideas from other navies without treating their foreign origin as a reason to reject them. Repeating development work on an established solution consumes money and research effort. Adopting that solution leaves more capacity for problems that still require original work.
