Quad navies have the ability to come together if an opportunity arises, Indian Navy Chief Admiral Karambir Singh said also pointing out that China is making attempts to replicate the US Navy carrier battle groups as they expand. “If an opportunity arises, we have the capability and capacity to come together in an almost plug and play manner,” Admiral Singh said at a discussion during the ongoing Raisina Dialogue where he was also joined by Admiral Scot Davidson, Commander of US Navy’s Indo-Pacific Command. “China’s intention is to replicate carrier battle groups like the United States Navy by adding more aircraft carriers and accompanying by fleet support ships and destroyers. The most important capability they have to develop is the competence of their carrier air wing which takes time. US operating aircraft since the world war, but I think the Chinese are moving quickly," said Indian Navy chief Admiral Karambir Singh.
