Rajnath Singh commissions India's 2nd scorpene submarine Khanderi

India's second Scorpene-class attack submarine INS Khanderi which was commissioned by Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on Saturday is expected to increase the country's maritime combat lethality by several folds.
As per the Indian Navy, the INS Khanderi is one of the most potent platforms to have been constructed in India that can compare with the best in the world.
The motif of the attack submarine is inspired by the fish 'Kanneri' which is found in the Arabian Sea. The fish is known for hunting while swimming close to the bottom of the ocean using the barbells to find their prey. The fish uses its long serrated saw to kill and shred their prey before eating it.
