    Solution

    The two Project 17A stealth frigates Udaygiri and Himgiri will be commissioned at Visakhapatnam, with Defence Minister Rajnath Singh presiding. The event is notable as the first-ever simultaneous commissioning of two warships built at different shipyards, reflecting coordination across India’s defence shipbuilding ecosystem. Commissioning at Visakhapatnam also places both ships into the Eastern Fleet, enhancing India’s blue-water capabilities in the Indian Ocean. This specific port is important operationally because Visakhapatnam is a principal Eastern Naval Command base and a standard venue for induction of major surface combatants into the Indian Navy.
