Today is a day of great importance in increasing the maritime strength of the country. On Wednesday, the Scorpene-class submarine INS Karanj joined the Indian Navy in Mumbai. INS Karanj was inducted into the Navy fleet in the presence of Chief of Naval Staff Admiral Karambir Singh and Admiral (Retd) VS Shekhawat.
After INS Karanja joins the Navy, the maritime strength of our country will increase manifold. INS Karanj is called the Silent Killer because it has the ability to destroy the enemy’s camp without sound.
INS Karanj has the capability to launch surface and underwater torpedo and tube-launched anti-ship missiles. It is claimed that INS Karanj has the capability to deteriorate the enemy by precisely aiming. In addition, the submarine has the capability to carry out missions such as anti-surface warfare, anti-submarine warfare, intelligence gathering, mine layering and area surveillance.
The Scorpene-class submarine INS Karanj has used technology that would make it difficult for navies of enemy countries to reconnaissance. These techniques include state-of-the-art acoustic silencing technology, low radiative noise level, hydro-dynamically optimized shape. The reasons for locating the submarines while building the submarine have been taken into consideration, making these submarines safer than most submarines.
