Navy's Grey Ferrari and Gurkha Sword Visit Kolkata

Two Indian Navy guided missile corvettes, INS Khanjar and INS Kora, are visiting Kolkata for Navy Week, open for public viewing for three days. These warships, part of mission-based deployments, exemplify India's naval strength and outreach, engaging citizens of the eastern metropolis.

In a significant move to engage with the public during Navy Week, two of the Indian Navy's frontline guided missile corvettes, INS Khanjar and INS Kora, have docked at Kolkata, as announced by a Defence official on Friday.

Deployed in the Bay of Bengal for mission-based tasks, these mighty warships are now docked at Kidderpore, offering citizens a rare glimpse into the power of India's naval fleet. The corvettes will be accessible to the public at the dock's berth 11 until November 30, showcasing India's commitment to transparency and outreach.

Known for their speed and offensive capabilities, INS Khanjar, dubbed 'Grey Ferrari,' and INS Kora, named after a legendary Gurkha sword, are renowned for their combat excellence. Built by Kolkata's own Garden Reach Shipbuilders and Engineers Ltd, these corvettes serve as a testament to India's indigenous defense production capabilities.
