Indian Navy Commissions Third Anti-Submarine Warfare Craft INS Mangrol
The Indian Navy commissioned INS Mangrol, its third Anti-Submarine Warfare Shallow Water Craft (ASW-SWC), at the Naval Dockyard in Mumbai. Built by Cochin Shipyard Limited with over 80% indigenous content, Mangrol is designed to detect and counter submarine threats in coastal and shallow waters where larger ships face operational limits. Equipped with modern sonar, torpedoes, and decoy systems, it enhances coastal security and supports fleet operations. Named after a coastal town in Gujarat, it continues the legacy of a former minesweeper of the same name.
