Indian Navy Commissions Third Anti-Submarine Warfare Shallow Water Craft 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 advanced sonar, torpedoes, and decoy systems, it enhances coastal security and supports fleet operations. The ship continues the legacy of the earlier INS Mangrol (M85) and reflects India's growing indigenous naval capabilities.
