But, on completion, it will be useful only for small ships and not to those navigating on international routes," Mehta told the media on the sidelines of a meeting in Chennai Monday night.
When asked to elaborate, the Admiral said, "This is Tamil Nadu. And it is a sensitive issue," and declined to elaborate.

Setu: TR Baalu as de facto Defence Minister?
This Baalu seems to say and do anything to prove his point. The audacity of this guy to challenge Naval Admiral on nautical matters. He's trashed economists on Setu pertaining economics! Spiritual acharayas and Gurus on religious matters! Environment experts! Historians! The list is just endless.
<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->If Lord Rama's credentials as an engineer can be questioned by
Dravidian leaders with impunity, then the common people of India would
like to put these questions to T R Baalu taking note of his recent
letter to A K Antony, Union Defence Minister:
1)Are you a Naval Engineer?
2) Where did you take your Naval Engineering Degree from? Did you
study in an Engineering College in India or abroad? Did you ever
enroll in any Naval or Military Academy in India or abroad?
3) Are you the Defence Minister of India?
4) Are we right in 'imagining' that A K Antony and not T R Baalu is
the duly appointed Defence Minister of India?
5) Who gave you plenipotentiary powers to question the Constitutional
authority of the Chief of Naval Staff to give his unfettered technical
opinion on naval matters?
These questions have become very relevant because in a recent letter
to Antony, Baalu has questioned the constitutional right of Admiral
Sureesh Mehta PVSM, AVSM, ADC Chief of Naval Staff to express his
technical opinion on the practical usability and utility of the
controversial SSCP Canal from the point of view of the Indian Navy.
