Key facts

The Indian Navy has taken delivery of 'Anjadip', the third of eight Anti-Submarine Warfare Shallow Water Craft (ASW SWC).
The warship has been indigenously designed and built by Garden Reach Shipbuilders and Engineers (GRSE), Kolkata.
The ASW SWC project is executed under a Public–Private Partnership between GRSE and L&T Shipyard, Kattupalli.
These vessels are equipped with state-of-the-art lightweight torpedoes, indigenously developed anti-submarine rockets, and advanced shallow water SONAR systems.
Anjadip carries forward the legacy of the erstwhile INS Anjadip, a Petya-class corvette decommissioned in 2003.
The ship derives its name from Anjadip Island, located off the coast of Karwar in Karnataka.
