The Indian Navy is set to commission INS Arnala, the country’s first Anti-Submarine Warfare Shallow Water Craft (ASW-SWC), at the Naval Dockyard in Visakhapatnam today. The commissioning ceremony will be presided over by Chief of Defence Staff General Anil Chauhan.
 
INS Arnala is the first of 16 ASW-SWC vessels being inducted into the Indian Navy. It was delivered to the Navy on the 8th of last month. It is named after the historic Arnala Fort off the coast of Maharashtra.
 
Designed and constructed by Garden Reach Shipbuilders & Engineers, Kolkata, in collaboration with L&T Shipbuilders, the vessel embodies the ‘Aatmanirbhar Bharat’ initiative with over 80 per cent indigenous content.
 
The ship measures 77.6 meters in length, displaces over 1,490 tonnes, and is the largest Indian naval vessel powered by a diesel engine-waterjet propulsion system.
 
The commissioning of INS Arnala marks a significant milestone in enhancing India’s coastal defence capabilities and reinforcing its position as a self-reliant maritime power in the Indian Ocean Region.
