INS Amba to be decommissioned

Indian Naval Ship Amba, an Ugra class submarine depot ship, will be decommissioned at the Naval Base here tomorrow by Eastern Naval Command Flag Officer Commanding-in-Chief Vice-Admiral Sureesh Mehta.

INS Amba served the nation and Indian Navy for 38 years and is the last of the ships, which extensively participated in the 1971 war with Pakistan.

The decommissioning ceremony will see a traditional ‘pay off’ of the ship with the naval band playing the ‘last post’ and hauling down of the national flag, the naval ensign and the decommissioning pennant at sunset. A ‘Barakhana’ for the ships company will be held in the afternoon.
