INS Surat Docks at Hazira Port
The Indian Navy’s newest destroyer, INS Surat, reached Hazira Port on May 1, 2025. This marks its first-ever visit to Surat, the city it was named after.
The ship arrived as part of a two-day goodwill tour. The event aims to build a stronger connection between the Navy and the public.
INS Surat is the fourth and final ship in the Project 15B Guided Missile Destroyer program. It showcases India’s progress in building advanced warships at home.
This visit is a proud moment for Surat. It reflects the city’s growing role in India’s defense and maritime network.
