Answer: INS Arnala
Notes: Recently, Indian Navy commissioned INS Arnala, the first Anti-Submarine Warfare Shallow Water Craft (ASW-SWC), at the Naval Dockyard in Visakhapatnam. This marks a big step in strengthening India’s coastal defence and underwater threat response. INS Arnala is the first of sixteen ASW-SWC class ships and is designed for subsurface surveillance, search and rescue, and low-intensity maritime missions. It has over 80% indigenous content and reflects the vision of Aatmanirbhar Bharat (self-reliant India).
