2 Warships, 1 Submarine: What Are Indian Navy's 3 Newest Weapons?

India made history Wednesday by commissioning two indigenously developed and manufactured warships - a class-leading stealth frigate and guided missile destroyer - and an attack submarine.

This is the first time Delhi has commissioned three warships - all built entirely in India - at one go and that is a significant statement of intent in itself, including a declaration of military self-sufficiency.

But it has also been seen as a firm reply to Beijing as India and China jostle for strategic influence over the Indian Ocean region, and Pakistan's plan to build - with Chinese help - a 50-ship Navy.
