Navy warship to join fleet in South China Sea
The New Indian Express Kottayam
|October 06, 2025
CARRYING out its long range deployment, the Indian Navy’s indigenous stealth frigate INS Sahyadri made a port call at Malaysia’s Kemaman port as part of the Eastern Fleet Operational Deployment to the South China Sea and Indo-Pacific.
“The ship was accorded a warm welcome by the Royal Malaysian Navy, celebrating enduring cultural ties and shared maritime traditions between the two nations,” the Navy said on Sunday, adding that the port call was on Oct 2.
This is the third visit by INS Sahyadri to Malaysia. The ship had earlier visited Port Klang on a goodwill mission in 2016, and later participated in Exercise Samudra Laksamana at Kota Kinabalu in 2019. These visits underscore the strong and evolving naval ties between the two countries.
