INS Kadmatt is a Kamorta-class anti-submarine Warfare Corvette of the Indian Navy, which was commissioned in 2016.
The indigenously built warship exemplifies India's technological advancements and self-reliance under the Make in India initiative and remains a most compact and comprehensive fighting machine, the Indian Navy noted.
INS Kadmatt is equipped with advanced sensors and weapon systems and plays a critical role in safeguarding India's maritime interests by detecting and neutralising threats in all domains of warfare at sea viz. surface, sub-surface and air.
In the last nine years, the ship has participated in key national and international exercises, thereby enhancing its operational capabilities and fostering global naval cooperation, the Navy highlighted.
Earlier this year, during Indonesia's President Prabowo Subianto's visit to India, he welcomed India's interest in enhancing cooperation on maritime security, including its engagement with regional mechanisms to ensure the safety and security of sea lanes of communication.
As per the MEA, PM Modi and President Subianto acknowledged the significance of collaborative efforts to achieve safe and secure sea lanes in the region and had agreed to maintain constant communication to discuss the enhancement of maritime safety.
They had also welcomed the renewal of the MoU on Maritime Safety and Security Cooperation, which signifies a commitment to continue cooperating in preventing and responding to acts of crime at sea, coordinating search and rescue operations upon request, and capacity building activities, the MEA highlighted.
