INS Nistar, India’s indigenously built Diving Support Vessel, took part in Exercise Pacific Reach 2025 held in Singapore. This biennial event brings together more than 40 nations to strengthen submarine rescue capabilities and maritime cooperation. During the exercise, INS Nistar acted as the mothership for Deep Submergence Rescue Vehicles (DSRV), playing a vital role in the operations. The drill was structured in two phases – Harbour and Sea – to comprehensively test coordination, preparedness, and technical proficiency. Participation in such multinational exercises not only enhances India’s naval capabilities but also promotes stronger defence ties with global partners.
