Two warships. One historic moment. India commissions INS Himgiri and INS Udaygiri, into the Navy's Eastern Command. With enhanced endurance, modern weapon systems, and entirely indigenous design, these ships mark a strategic leap in naval readiness. And NDTV's CTRL ALT DEFENCE duo Vishnu Som and Shiv Aroor are aboard the latest Navy vessel, bringing you SUPER exclusive footage and conversations with the two commanding officers - Commodore Vikas Sood of INS Udaygiri and Captain Robin Chakravorty of INS Himgiri. 

This is the first time two frontline warships, constructed by two different shipyards, are being commissioned together. With INS Nilgiri, the lead P17A of the class entering service in January, and her two sister ships Udaygiri and Himgiri entering service today, it's a landmark bonanza for the Navy - three warships of a type entering service the same year and that too within months of each other.
