To further enhance its stealth and anti-submarine warfare capabilities, the Indian Navy will be commissioning one of its most advance warships INS Sahyadri on July 21 at Mumbai-based Western Naval Command headquarters.

The warship, which is last of Project-17 undertaken by Indian Navy, will be commissioned into service by Defence Minister A K Antony in presence of Admiral Nirmal Verma and other senior naval officials.

The 4,900-tonne INS Sahyadri is equipped with some of the most advance surface and air-to-air missiles and can carry two helicopters -- a mix of Dhruv, Sea King or Kamov -- onboard for various missions.
