Scorpene Class Submarine Ins Vagir

The Indian Navy on Tuesday received the fifth scorpene-class submarine Vagir ahead of its planned commissioning next month, officials said.

The Indian Navy's brand-new submarine - the fifth of the six French-designed Scorpene-class submarines - sailed out Tuesday on its first sea sortie and will now undergo rigorous trials before it is delivered to the Navy later this year.

Indian Navy's fifth Scorpene submarine Vagir, having "superior stealth features" like the advanced acoustic absorption technique, was launched today at the Mazagon Dock in south Mumbai.
