INS VELA

The Indian Navy's fourth stealth Scorpene class submarine, INS Vela, was commissioned on 25 November 2021. The submarine has been built by Mazagaon Dock Shipbuilders Limited in collaboration with M/s Naval Group of France. The previous avataar INS Vela was commissioned on 31 August 1973 and rendered yeoman service to the nation for 37 years before being decommissioned on 25 June 2010. The new Vela is a potent man o' war and is capable of offensive operations that span across the entire spectrum of #maritimewarfare. Induction of the submarine consolidates the Indian Navy's position as a builder's Navy significantly and adds sharpness and strength to its combat capability. #MakeInIndia #HarKaamDeshKeNaam #AatmaNirbharBharat #IndianNavy
