2 Indian Navy ships in PH for goodwill visit

MANILA — Two of Indian Navy’s most modern warships will be making a goodwill visit to the Philippines from October 3 to 6.

Philippine Navy (PN) spokesperson Capt. Lued Lincuna said the Indian naval vessels will be docking at Pier 15, Manila South Harbor.

These ships are the INS Satpura (F-48), a Shivalik-class stealth multi-role frigate commissioned in Aug. 20, 2011, and the INS Kadmati (P-29), an anti-submarine corvette activated in Jan. 7, 2016.

INS Saptura is commanded by Capt. Rahul Shankar while INS Kadmati is skippered by Cmdr. Nithin Cariappa.

Both ships are equipped with a variety of sensors and weapon systems.

Lincuna said the Indian vessels will be escorted to their berths in Manila South Harbor after a customary meeting procedure with BRP Rajah Humabon (FF-11) off Corregidor.

“The goodwill visit aims to enhance and strengthen the mutual relationship between the two nations. It also coincides with the commemoration of the 25th year of India-ASEAN relations being celebrated this year,” he added. | PNA
