INS Mahe was built by Cochin Shipyard Limited (CSL) under the Navy's push for self-reliance in maritime capability. This project thus marks a significant step forward in India's 'Aatmanirbhar Bharat' initiative.
INS Ikshak is poised to chart uncharted waters, enhance maritime safety, and reinforce national security across vital sea lanes. The commissioning ceremony commenced with the reading of the ship's Commissioning Warrant by Captain Tribhuvan Singh, the Commanding Officer.
Ikshak is the first SVL designed with dedicated women's accommodation, underscoring the Navy's commitment to inclusivity and modernisation. Its induction significantly augments India's hydrographic survey capability and indigenous shipbuilding capacity.
The ship will be formally commissioned into service by Admiral Dinesh K Tripathi, Chief of the Naval Staff, at a ceremony in Naval Base, Kochi, on November 6.
The Indian Navy commissioned INS Tamal (F 71) on Tuesday at Yantar Shipyard, Kaliningrad, Russia, in the presence of VAdm Sanjay Jasjit Singh, the Flag Officer Commanding-in-Chief, Western Naval Command. VAdm Rajaram Swaminathan, Controller Warship Production and Acquisition, VAdm Sergie Lipin, Commander Baltic Fleet of the Russian Federation Navy, were also present on the occasion, along with other senior officials from the Indian and Russian Governments, Navies, and industries.
The ship's name symbolises the mythical sword used for combat by Indra, the King of the gods. The ship's mascot is inspired by the congruence of the 'Jambavant', the Immortal Bear King of Indian Mythology, and the Russian National Animal--the Eurasian Brown Bear.
