India is considering adapting its S4 submarine design into a cruise missile carrier to address gaps in its naval capabilities. This approach enables the deployment of a higher number of precision-guided missiles, increasing offensive power. By modifying an existing design, it offers a faster and more cost-effective alternative to building new submarines. The concept aligns with modern naval strategies focused on stealth and long-range strike capabilities. It also enhances India’s ability to respond effectively to regional maritime challenges.
