IN a significant development, the Mazagon Dock Shipbuilders Limited (MDL) handed over the sixth and the last submarine of the Scorpene Class to the Indian Navy on Thursday.
The Sixth Scorpene Submarine 'Vagsheer' of Project -75 (P-75) will be commissioned into the Indian Navy as INS Vaghsheer, along with two other warships.
The MDL said, "The Acceptance Document was signed by Sanjeev Singhal, Chairman & Managing Director MDL and Rear Admiral (RAdm) R Adhisrinivasan, Chief Staff Officer (Technical), Western Naval Command in the presence of Commanding Officer (Designated), Vaghsheer, Commander (Cdr) Vineet Sharma, MDL Directors and others."
Vaghsheer, launched in April 2022, underwent comprehensive and rigorous trials for over a year to ensure full Combat Worthy Submarine capable of operating in all modes and regimes of deployment.
Singhal said Vaghsheer's delivery further cements India's position as a submarine-building nation and acknowledges MDL's reputation as India's only shipyard with the capacity and capability to meet the requirements and aspirations of the Indian Navy.
