Current GK Defence

24-Jul-23

This is the first time India has gifted a fully operational, in-service corvette to any friendly foreign country. The transfer of the warship comes a year after India handed over 12 high-speed boats to the Vietnamese Navy to boost its capabilities under a $100 million line of credit to that country.

The Indian Navy decommissioned INS Kirpan and handed over the indigenously built missile corvette to the southeast Asian country’s navy at Cam Ranh as a gift, with the ceremony presided over by navy chief Admiral R Hari Kumar and Vietnam People’s Navy (VPN) deputy commander-in-chief Rear Admiral Pham Manh Hung.
