Submarine “Kalvari” undocked at Mazagon Dock Limited- First submarine by India

“Kalvari”, the first of the Navy’s six Scorpene class stealth submarines built under Project 75, was undocked at Mazagon Dock Limited (MDL) here on Monday, paving the way for sea trials.
  • Six Scorpenes are being built by MDL in collaboration with French firm DCNS.
  • The first Scorpene submarine has been named after its predecessor, an erstwhile Russian “Foxtrot” class submarine, Kalvari. 
  • It was the first submarine operated by India.
The Scorpene submarines would pack a potent punch. They would be equipped with anti-ship missiles and long range guided torpedoes along with modern sensor suite.
