NEW DELHI:

It will be a part of the Mumbai-based Western Fleet, the officials said.

It was commissioned in the presence of defence minister Rajnath Singh, who described the warship as a "proud testament" to India's growing maritime might and a "significant milestone" in the long-standing friendship between the two countries.

As part of strengthening the bilateral relations and naval cooperation between India and Morocco, INS Tushil arrived at Casablanca, Morocco, on December 27, on its way to India.

The warship will also carry out anti-piracy patrols in the Gulf of Guinea off the west African coast before it arrives in India, the officials said.
