The indigenously built anti-submarine warfare shallow water craft, or ASW SWC, 'Mahe', will be inducted into the Navy on November 24.
The Navy on Sunday said the anti-submarine warfare warship 'Mahe' would be inducted into the Navy at a ceremonial event in Mumbai on November 24. The ship is named after the historic coastal town of Mahe on the Malabar coast.
The 'Mahe' is the first ship in a series of eight ASW SWCs. Built by Cochin Shipyard Limited, Mahe represents the latest example of India's 'Atmanirbhar Bharat' initiative in the design and construction of state-of-the-art vessels. The ship is designed for underwater surveillance, anti-submarine operations, search and rescue, as well as the protection of India's vital sea lanes.
The first Mahe-class ASW (SWC), equipped with torpedoes and anti-submarine missiles, was handed over to the Navy by CSL on October 23. At 78 meters long, the ship is the largest Indian naval warship powered by a diesel engine-waterjet combination. Over 90 percent of its material is indigenous.
