Cochin Shipyard Limited delivers the indigenously built Mahe to Indian Navy
‘Mahe’, the first of the eight ASW SWCs (AntiSubmarine Warfare Shallow Water Craft), indigenously designed and built by Cochin Shipyard Limited (CSL), Kochi, was delivered to the Indian Navy on Thursday.
"The Acceptance form was signed between Dr. S Harikrishnan, Director (Operations), Cochin Shipyard Limited and Commander Amit Chandra Choubey, Commanding Officer (Designate), Mahe in the presence of Rear Admiral R Adhisrinivasan, CSO (Tech), Western Naval Command, Cmde Anup Menon, Warship Production Superintendent, Kochi and other senior officials of Indian Navy and CSL," Cochin Shipyard Limited said in a statement.
The warship has been designed and constructed as per the Classification Rules of Det Norske Veritas (DNV).
The 78 m long warship is the largest Indian Naval warship propelled by a Diesel Engine-Waterjet combination.
The ship has been designed for underwater surveillance, Search & Rescue operations and Low Intensity Maritime Operations (LIMO).
The ship is capable of undertaking ASW operations in coastal waters, along with advanced mine laying capabilities.
The induction of ASW SWC ships would significantly boost shallow water Anti-Submarine Warfare capabilities of the Indian Navy.
Mahe’s delivery is yet another milestone in the Indian Navy’s quest for indigenous shipbuilding and upholding the Government’s vision of "Aatma Nirbhar Bharat” with over 90% indigenous content.
