Naval Chief outlines INS Taragiri as emblem of advanced maritime security amid West Asia crisis
Navy chief Admiral Dinesh K Tripathi said, "... The Indian Navy's focus is clear: to continue to be a combat-ready, credible, cohesive and future-ready force. Under this goal, with the help of the defence ministry, the Indian Navy has commissioned 12 ships, 1 submarine and 1 aircraft squadron since last year... Today's commissioning will strengthen the Indian Navy's operational reach, presence and responsiveness. With its strong combat capabilities and state-of-the-art systems, ‘Taragiri’ is a symbol of India's increasing self-reliance. This ship has more than 75% indigenous content. The construction of this platform was completed in approximately 15% less time than that of the other ships of its kind..."
