Indian Navy’s guided missile destroyer ‘INS Mysore’ will arrive at Hamad Port on Wednesday.
As part of the friendly ties and multi-faceted and growing cooperation between India and Qatar, Indian Navy ships have been frequently visiting Qatar.
INS Mysore (D60) is the second ship of the Delhi class guided missile destroyers, and was commissioned into the Indian Navy on June 2, 1999. One of the largest warships designed and built in India, the ship carries 6,700 tonnes and is capable of speeds of over 30 knots (about 55 km/ph).
Equipped with an impressive array of weapons and sensors, the ship is capable of addressing and neutralising threats from the air, sea and under sea. The ship’s combat power is supplemented by two helicopters.
Named after the historical city of Mysuru in southern India, Mysore is the second ship in the Indian Navy to bear the same name. Her illustrious predecessor served the Indian Navy with distinction from 1957 until 1985, remaining at the forefront of every major campaign that the Navy undertook during the period.
The ship is currently deployed in the Arabian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman for ‘Operation Sankalp’ to support the safe transit of Indian flagged merchant ships through the Gulf region.
Mysore has a crew of 40 officers and 300 sailors who abide by the ship’s motto ‘Always Fearless’. The ship is presently being commanded by Captain Prakash Gopalan.
While the ship’s visit to Qatar is a testimony to the friendly ties between India and Qatar, it also highlights the Indian Navy’s commitment to building cooperative partnerships with friendly nations of the Indian Ocean region to develop solutions to meet maritime challenges.
