INS Sindhudhvaj has been decommissioned after 35 years of glorious service to the nation.
Sindhudhvaj was the flag bearer of indigenisation and Indian Navy’s efforts towards achieving Atmanirbharta in the Russian built Sindhughosh class submarines throughout her journey in the navy.
With the retirement of INS Sindhudhvaj, the 10 Kilo-class submarines that India bought from Russia between 1986 and 2000 are now down to seven conventional boats (as the Navy calls submarines).
INS Sindhurakshak sank in Mumbai after a cataclysmic explosion in August 2013 that killed all 18 sailors on board.
