The Chief of Naval Staff, Admiral R Hari Kumar, on Tuesday, introduced the Indian Navy’s latest stealth-guided missile destroyer ‘INS Imphal’, the first warship to have been named after a city from the northeast.

Warship Imphal, which can fire extended-range supersonic BrahMos missiles, was commissioned into the
Indian Navy in Mumbai on Tuesday in the presence of Defence Minister Rajnath Singh.
The Navy Chief further said, “The name Imphal is very significant. This is the first time we are naming a major warship after a city in the Northeast of Bharat.”
“We have a community of about 400 personnel from Manipur and it just symbolises the way warship functions with personnel from all over the country, all districts, all blocks, all working together for one single cause which is of holding our tricolor and fulfilling the mission of the ship," said Admiral R Hari Kumar.
