Summary edit

Description
English: INS Khukri (P49), the first indigenous missile corvette of the Indian Navy, was transferred to the Diu Administration on 26 January 2022 after 32 years of glorious service to the nation and Navy, to be converted to a ship museum. Five months later, on 11 June 2022, the Khukri Museum was inaugurated by Shri Amit Shah, Hon'ble Union Home Minister and Minister of Cooperation, in the presence of Shri Praful K Patel, Hon'ble Administrator of Union Territory of DNHDD and Lakshadweep, and Vice Admiral Ajendra Bahadur Singh CINC WNC. With this, the newly inaugurated ship museum and the existing Khukri Memorial (that has a scaled-down model of the first INS Khukri (F149), a Blackwood class anti-submarine frigate) will be standing symbols of gallant deeds executed by men in the Navy in defending the maritime interests of the nation. Rear Admiral Manish Chadha FOGNA, Cmde Nitin Bishnoi NOIC Gujarat, and other naval personnel were also present during the inauguration. CINC WNC highlighted that the first INS Khukri was lost in action in the 1971 War off Diu. Her reincarnation, the indigenously built corvette, was commissioned into the Navy in 1989 and served with distinction till being decommissioned in December 2021. The presence both erstwhile INS Khukri in Diu - the museum (second avatar) and a Memorial (first Khukri) is an apt tribute to the valiant crews that manned the two ships. Even more important, it can remind Indian youth of our impressive maritime capabilities and legacy, and inspire them to consider national service as the main purpose and aspiration of their lives.
