Indian Navy's stealth frigate INS Shivalik caught fire on Wednesday while undergoing a refit at the Eastern Naval Command headquarters in Visakhapatnam.

The fire that broke out in the frigate's engine store room was doused after nearly six hours.

"The fire was controlled in time. There was no damage to men or material. An inquiry into the incident has been ordered," a navy spokesperson said here.

Asked why it took six hours to put out the flames, he said the delay happened because of the smoke which made it difficult for the fire fighting team to identify the seat of fire.

The indigenous frigate was commissioned in April 2010. It was built under the Rs 8,100-crore Project-17 in which three stealth warships - INS Shivalik, INS Satpura and INS Sahaydri - were constructed at the Mazgaon dock in Mumbai.

The frontline warship participated in the Malabar 2017 naval exercise involving US and Japanese navies.

The weapon acquisition seems to be running faster than the ability to absorb that technology into the force.

Most important point.

NS Shivalik has thankfully reported no loss of life or casualties and no loss or damage to materials.

So engine room kept burning for 6 hours and there was no damage

BTW , WTC fell after one hour and we know the scale of damage ........

Thank you Navy for reporting even a minor fire that resulted in zero loss truthfully.

This honesty is beyond the comprehension of those who'll populate this thread.

It's called a democracy.
All incidents are reported because they couldn't care less what internet says.
