India on Tuesday successfully test-fired its nuclear-capable Dhanush ballistic missile with a strike range of 350 km from a naval ship off the Odisha coast, said sources.

The surface-to-surface Dhanush was test fired from INS Subhadra in the Bay of Bengal, said sources.

It is a naval variant of India's indigenously-developed Prithvi missile.

Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) sources said the launch is successful as the missile reached the designated target.

Sources said Dhanush missile is capable of carrying conventional as well as nuclear payload of 500 kg and can hit both land and sea-based targets under 350 km range.

It has already been inducted in the armed forces.

Ballistic missiles on a surface vessel is a terrible idea. I hope they are preparing this missile for something else !
 
Then you should shut up...If you had, your nuclear triad, would have been complete.
It is an ingenious solution for those who can not afford SLBM or SLCMs.
They need to replace liquid fuel missiles with solid fuelled ones.

Hints
1. Its been used as a cover to test K15.
2. It can also target enemy vessels.

If nuclear deterrence was the concern then, we now have K15 and an SSBN undergoing trails.
