Indian Navy increases fleet of fast attack craft along coast areas - People's Daily Online January 25, 2010

The Indian Navy said on Sunday after the Mumbai attacks in November 2008, it is augmenting its fleet of fast attack craft, reported the Press Trust of India.

The report quoted a senior navy officer as saying that this year the Indian Navy has commissioned six new fast attack craft which can attain a speed of 70 km per hour, in order to enhance security along the coast.

The Indian Navy has also planned to commission 50 to 60 intermediate and small fast attack craft which will be deployed at various ports along the eastern and western coastal areas of the country, the report quoted Rear Admiral P. Murugesan of the Eastern Fleet as saying.

At least 170 people were killed and over 300 injured in the Mumbai attacks, when 10 terrorists landed by the sea to stage coordinated attacks in the Indian financial capital.
