Mumbai: The Indian Navy commissioned INS Mangrol (P82), the third Mahe-class Anti-Submarine Warfare Shallow Water Craft, at the Naval Dockyard in Mumbai on Monday. Vice Admiral Sanjay Vatsayan, Flag Officer Commanding-in-Chief, Western Naval Command, presided over the ceremony.
Indigenously designed and built by Cochin Shipyard Limited (CSL), Kochi, the warship features over 80 per cent indigenous content, reflecting India’s commitment to Aatmanirbhar Bharat and Make in India.
