The Indian Navy has added a new indigenously-built anti-submarine warfare ship to its fleet, which is expected to strengthen its presence in the Indian Ocean amid China’s increasing activity in the region.

The ship, named ‘Androth’, is the second in a series of eight anti-submarine warfare-shallow water craft (ASW-SWC). It has been built by Garden Reach Shipbuilders and Engineers (GRSE) in Kolkata.
