According to Navy officials, the guided missile destroyer will increase India’s naval capability in the Indian Ocean Region and serve as a deterrence to aggressors. The INS Mormugao successfully struck ‘Bulls Eye’ during her inaugural BrahMos supersonic cruise missile firing on Sunday, according to the Navy.

INS Mormugao was developed by the Indian Navy’s Warship Design Bureau and built by Mazagon Dock Shipbuilders Limited (MDL), Mumbai, to offer innovative design principles for increased survivability, seakeeping, and manoeuvrability. The Navy also stated that enhanced stealth has been achieved, making the ships difficult to detect. The Ministry of Defence previously said that it is prepared to fight in nuclear, biological, and chemical (NBC) warfare scenarios.

INS Mormugao has anti-submarine warfare technologies empowered by ASW helicopters, indigenously developed torpedo launchers and rocket launchers. Named after the historic port city of Gia, INS Mormugao has over 75 per cent indigenously developed content and all its major weapons and sensors have been developed and manufactured in the country either directly through design and development by Indian original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) or through strategic tie-ups and ToT with reputed international OEMs.
