GRSE Launches Third Next-Generation Offshore Patrol Vessel for Indian Navy
Garden Reach Shipbuilders and Engineers (GRSE) launched the third of four next-generation offshore patrol vessels, named 'Shreyas', for the Indian Navy in Kolkata. The launch occurred less than two months after the second vessel, 'Shruti', and follows the first vessel, 'Sanghmitra', launched in May. These vessels, measuring about 113 meters long and capable of speeds up to 23 knots, offer enhanced endurance, firepower, and versatility for maritime operations including surveillance, interdiction, and special missions. The event included traditional rituals and was attended by Vice Admiral Ajay Kochhar.
