February 03, 2014
In the ninth mishap involving Indian navy warships in the last seven months, an amphibious vessel was damaged when it ran aground off the coast of Vishakhapatnam.
An inquiry has been ordered by the Navy to ascertain the reasons for the mishap last week, sources in the navy said today.
The incident was the eighth involving a Naval warship since the sinking of the submarine INS Sindhurakshak in Mumbai harbour in August last year in which all 18 personnel on board were killed.
