INS Sindhughosh was a landmark asset of the Indian Navy and served as the lead submarine of the Sindhughosh-class. Commissioned in 1985, it played a crucial role in strengthening India’s underwater warfare, maritime surveillance, and strategic deterrence capabilities. Over its 40-year service life, the submarine undertook numerous patrols, exercises, and operational missions, becoming a backbone of India’s submarine fleet. Its decommissioning in December 2025 marked the conclusion of an important chapter in naval history and symbolised the Navy’s transition towards more modern and indigenously developed submarine platforms, while honouring the legacy of the crews who served aboard her.
