Hope In Ocean’s Depths: Indian Navy Now Capable Of Rescuing Personnel From Submarines In Distress Underwater
(@SpokespersonNavy/Twitter)
“[The Indian Navy] joins a select league of nations with capability to search, locate & provide rescue to distressed submarines by induction of its first Deep Submergence Rescue Vessel (DSRV) & associated kit in fly away configuration which can be rapidly mobilised. The DSRV can be mobilised from the naval base at Mumbai to nearest mounting port by air/land or sea for providing rapid rescue to the submarine in distress,” said a statement released by the Indian Navy.
Though the Indian Navy has not encountered a situation wherein rescue operations were required, it has seen some accidents in its submarine division. In August 2013, a catastrophic explosion occurred at the dock on board, the Kilo-class submarine INS Sindhurakshak. The mishap had resulted in the death of all 18 men on board.
Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
