Dunagiri, Agray and Sanshodhak: Indian Navy to induct three indigenous vessels to boost maritime edge

The three vessels – a stealth frigate, an anti-submarine warfare craft and a survey ship – were built by Kolkata-based Garden Reach Shipbuilders & Engineers.

The Indian Navy is set to commission three indigenous vessels –– a stealth frigate, an anti-submarine warfare craft and a survey ship –- in a fresh push to strengthen its operational edge in the Indian Ocean Region, where China has steadily expanded its maritime presence, officials familiar with the matter said on Sunday.
