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.
