No , see at the report, it says 15 meters... Car Nicobar class are near 50 meters long. Plus it says fiberglass , but Car Nicobar is made of Aluminium .

It must be this

We have ordered 8O such boats from Sri Lanka.

Trained sailors are the most valuable assets for the navy. It is a good thing that their lives are safe.
