Hindustan Shipyard Limited (HSL) is planning to undertake sea trials of India’s first missile tracking ship by the first week of October.
About:
It has been built by Hindustan Shipyard Limited (HSL) for the National Technical Research Organisation, the technical intelligence agency working directly under the supervision of the Prime Minister’s Office and the National Security Adviser.
It is a first of its kind ocean surveillance ship being built as part of the efforts to strengthen the country’s strategic weapons programme.
The ship has the capacity to carry 300-strong crew with hi-tech gadgets and communication equipment and a large deck capable of helicopter landing.
It will be named after its induction into the Indian Navy. For now, it is referred as VC 11184.
Once ready, this would put India in the elite of club of a few countries that have such a sophisticated ocean surveillance ship.
