“#Surat will be the next major combatant to join the #IndianNavy’s arsenal. The ship commenced her maiden sea trials prior induction. Named after the vibrant city of #Gujarat, #Surat epitomizes its rich maritime heritage and pivotal role in India’s nautical legacy.

It has been a maritime tradition to christen ships, boats and other vessels after cities.
Surat, a historic city in Gujarat, is known for its centuries-old storeyed past and is located near the western India’s coastline.
