The ship was enroute to India after participation in Exercise Malabar 16 and Exercise RIMPAC-16. During the visit, the ship's crew had professional interactions with the Republic of Singapore Navy towards further enhancing co-operation between the two forces. Calls on senior Government and military authorities, sporting and cultural interactions, aimed at strengthening ties and mutual understanding between the two Navies, were also planned.
