00:16are now in the hands of PM Narendra Modi.
00:20Let's talk to INS Surat's commanding officer, Sandeep Chowdhury.
00:26Sir, tell us, INS Surat has been commissioned to the Indian Navy.
00:30What is special about this ship?
00:34The special thing is that this ship is the last ship of Project 15 Bravo,
00:39the last destroyer to be commissioned.
00:42Destroyer Shrini is full of weapons and sensors.
00:48It is a very modern and formidable warship.
00:53It has missile systems that can go very far,
00:59whether it is a surface-to-surface missile or a surface-to-air missile.
01:03Apart from that, it has a lot of modern facilities.
01:09The crew has good habitability.
01:14Since the Navy has inducted women officers and sailors,
01:19there is accommodation for them.
01:22We have also deployed some systems with artificial intelligence
01:26for operational usage.
01:29These are the things that are very important for Surat.
01:34This is the first time in the Indian Navy that Swadeshi build-up is being included.
01:43What is special about this ship?
01:46What is the facility of the BrahMos weapon used in this ship?
01:50You have mentioned one weapon.
01:53There are so many weapons that I don't want to mention their names.
01:57But there are many systems.
01:5975% of the content of the ship is made in India.
02:04It has been made in collaboration with technology.
02:07This ship has 75% indigenous content.
02:12We have heard that this ship was built in less than half the time of the previous ship.
02:21Tell us about that.
02:23The previous ship took 31 months to complete.
02:29There is a considerable time shortage.
02:32The advantage of this ship is that it has been available to the Navy very quickly.
02:38This ship is ready for combat.
02:41Our ship building has reached a level where the ship is being made very quickly.
02:50There are no delays.
02:52The ship is being delivered before the time of the contract.
02:57This is a historic day for the Indian Navy.
03:00You are the commanding officer of Surat.
03:05How do you feel about PM Modi's rejection?
03:11If you meet the crew or the family members of the crew,
03:16you will understand that everyone is very proud.
03:21First of all, they are standing on this ship, which is made in India.
03:25Our beautiful Surat.
03:27In addition to Surat, we are also commissioning Neelgiri and Waghshir.
03:31The third is our honorable Prime Minister.
03:35He has commissioned us.
03:38It is a feeling of pride for all of us.
03:41Thank you for talking to ETV.
03:43All the best for your future career.
