The Indian Navy on Tuesday marked a key milestone with the launch of DSC A 23 (Yard 328), the fourth vessel under the Diving Support Craft (DSC) project. The launch underscores India’s ongoing efforts to strengthen its underwater operational and support capabilities.
Built at Garden Reach Shipbuilders & Engineers Ltd., the vessel is designed to assist in complex diving and salvage operations, including underwater inspection, maintenance, and repair tasks. Officials said the craft will enhance the Navy’s ability to conduct deep-sea diving missions and support maritime infrastructure.
The DSC project forms part of the broader push for indigenous shipbuilding and self-reliance in defence manufacturing. Once commissioned, DSC A 23 will join the fleet in bolstering operational readiness, particularly in coastal and offshore environments.
