In this series, Indian Army Chief General MM Naravane inducted indigenously-built anti-submarine warship INS Kavaratti (INS Kavaratti) in Visakhapatnam into the Navy. The speciality of this is that it does not fall under the radar. Adding to Kavaratti’s fleet would add to the Navy’s strength. This is the last of the four indigenous warships built under Project 28.
