Vizagvision Kolkata :LAUNCH OF NEXT GENERATION OFFSHORE PATROL VESSEL (YARD 3037, SHRUTI AT M/s GRSE, KOLKATA Yard 3037 Shruti Next Generation Offshore Patrol Vessel (NGOPV), was launched at M/s GRSE, by Mrs Manika Sadhu, in the presence of Vice Admiral Sanjay Sadhu, Controller of Warship Production & Acquisition . The event reflected the rich traditions, and ethos of the Indian Navy. Senior dignitaries from the Indian Navy Ministry of Defence, and GRSE* attended the occasion.The construction of NGOPVs is concurrently being undertaken at two shipyards (GSL, Goa & GRSE, Kolkata). These indigenously designed and built ships will augment the existing OPVs/ NOPVs for multi domain operations, such as maritime surveillance, search and rescue, protection of offshore assets, HADR and anti-piracy missions . These ships derive their name from India’s rich heritage, with this ship being named as Shruti referring to four Vedas . The crest design of the ship depicts the constellation of Ursa Major and a red & white coloured light house.The launch marks yet another significant milestone in Indian Navy’s pursuit towards indigenous shipbuilding and is in consonance with Government of India’s vision of ‘Aatmanirbhar Bharat ’ and ‘Make in India initiative.
