India has launched its first satellite and ballistic missile tracking ship Dhruv on Friday 10 September 2021. The 10,000-tonne vessel has commissioned from Visakhapatnam in Andhra Pradesh.
INS Dhruv, the latest addition to the Indian Navy’s arsenal, was built by the Hindustan Shipyard in collaboration with the DRDO and NTRO. The ship is equipped with multiple features that make it a state-of-the-art instrument in modern naval warfare.
In addition to these, INS Dhruv is also equipped with the capability to map ocean beds for research and detection of enemy submarines.
India’s nuclear missile tracking ship will be manned by Indian Navy personnel with the Strategic Forces Command (SFC). With the addition of INS Dhruv, India will join an elite list of countries that presently consists of only France, the US, the UK, Russia, and China, who possess and operate such vessels.
