india gets its sixth scorpene class submarine ‘INS Vagsheer’ in Mumbai

On Wednesday, the Mazagon Dock Shipbuilders christened INS Vagsheer, the final of Project 75's six submarines. Defence Secretary Ajay Kumar inaugurated the submarine. After launch, the submarine will go through a year-long series of testing and trials to guarantee that it is completely combat-ready. The first submarine, the 'Vagsheer,' was commissioned in December 1974 and named after the sandfish, a dangerous deep-water sea predator of the Indian Ocean. In April 1997, it was deactivated. The fourth submarine under Project-75 was commissioned in November 2020. The fifth submarine's sea trials started in February. The submarines INS Kalvari, INS Khanderi, and INS Karang have already been launched.
