NEW DELHI: The Mazagon Dock Shipbuilders Limited on Thursday handed over the sixth and last submarine of the Scorpene class to the Indian Navy. The MDL in a statement said, “The Acceptance Document was signed by Sanjeev Singhal, Chairman & Managing Director MDL and Rear Admiral R Adhisrinivasan, Chief Staff Officer, Western Naval Command in the presence of Commanding Officer, Vaghsheer, Commander Vineet Sharma, MDL Directors and others.” Vaghsheer was launched on 20 April 2022 and has undergone a series of comprehensive and rigorous set of tests and trials to ensure delivery of a fully combat worthy submarine, capable of operation in all modes and regimes of deployment. “The CMD MDL conveyed that with the delivery of Vaghsheer, India further cements its position as a submarine building nation and MDL has lived up to its reputation as one of the India’s only shipyard with capacity and capability to meet requirements and aspirations of the Indian Navy in all dimensions. The delivery of six submarines namely, Kalvari, Khanderi, Karanj, Vela, Vagir and now Vaghsheer, reaffirmed India’s membership in the exclusive group of submarine building nations,” said MDL. The state-of-the-art technology utilised in the Scorpene, as per the MDL, has ensured superior stealth features such as advanced acoustic absorption techniques, low radiated noise levels, hydro-dynamically optimised shape etc.
