INS Nirdeshak: India’s New Survey Ship
INS Nirdeshak, India’s latest survey ship, symbolizes self-reliance in defense with over 80% domestically sourced components. Built by Garden Reach Shipbuilders & Engineers (GRSE) in Kolkata, this 3,800-tonne vessel is crucial for hydrographic surveys and navigation support. Equipped with advanced tools, it can stay at sea for 25+ days and reach speeds of over 18 knots. The ship, a modern iteration of its 32-year-old predecessor, enhances maritime capabilities, supports Indian Ocean mapping, and boosts national security. Its crest, "The Pathfinder of the Seas," underscores its role in navigation and resource management.
