Indian Navy has so far maintained that the
details would not reveal the final submarine's signature, as the specifications
in the document are generic and each boat has a unique signature that is known
only when it is ready and in the waters.

The total leaked documents run over 22,000
pages.
The first set of documents uploaded by
"The Australian", included technical manuals of the boat, as also
details like its acoustic signature and levels of noise radiation.
Tracking a submarine involves sophisticated
sonar equipment that can detect, classify, locate and track a vessel based on
echoes from its hull and the noise it generates. The Total Investment & Insurance Solutions
Hull reflection, radio and radar signals and
water pressure can also give away a submarine's location.
To this extent, the Scorpene's stealth
characteristic is its biggest strength. This has been achieved by modifying its
hull and reducing its noise footprint.The
