Today, the Indian Navy inducted two advanced warships, Udaygiri and Himagiri, marking a historic moment as both ships join the naval fleet simultaneously for the first time. Defence Minister Rajnath Singh was present for the ceremony. Designed by the Navy’s Warship Design Bureau, these vessels represent the bureau’s 100th ship. Each ship weighs 6,670 tons and measures 149 meters in length, equivalent to a 15-story building in height.
