Mazagon Dock Shipbuilders has launched ‘INS Vagsheer’, the sixth Scorpene-class submarine under Project-75. Post launch, the Submarine will undergo a very comprehensive and rigorous set of tests and trials, for more than a year, to ensure delivery of a fully combat worthy submarine, capable of operation in all modes and regimes of deployment.

Vagsheer is named after the Sand Fish, a deadly deep sea predator of the Indian Ocean. The first Submarine Vagsheer, ex-Russia, was commissioned into the Indian Navy on December 26, 1974, and was decommissioned on April 30, 1997 after almost three decades of yeoman service to the nation. In true nautical tradition, she finds a new incarnation, by the same name. Vagsheer, infused with new life, by Mazagon Dock, once again a very powerful predator of the deep, guarding the vast maritime interests of nation.

The Mazagon Dock has so far delivered four Scorpene-class submarines under the project to the Indian Navy - INS Kalvari, INS Khanderi, INS Karanj and INS Vela. The fifth submarine ‘Vagir’ is currently under trial at sea, and is likely to be commissioned before the end of this year.
