- Here are some key details about the event:
- INS Tarmugli: Named after a picturesque island in the Andaman group, this 320-tonne vessel is 48 meters in length and can achieve speeds exceeding 30 knots. It's a Trinkat-class fast attack craft known for its agility and firepower.
- Re-induction: Interestingly, INS Tarmugli wasn't a new acquisition. It was previously gifted to the Maldivian National Defence Forces (MNDF) in 2006 as MCGS Huravee and served there until its decommissioning in May 2023. Now, it has been refurbished and re-inducted into the Indian Navy.
- Significance: The re-induction of INS Tarmugli strengthens India's maritime capabilities, particularly in the strategically important Indian Ocean region. It also underscores the close relationship between India and Maldives.
