INS Godavari (F20) to be decommissioned next month.
After 32 years of service, INS Godavari (F20), the lead ship of Godavari class of frigates will be finally put to rest. She was involved in Op-Cactus back in 1988 when she successfully intercepted the Cargo ship hijacked by the mercenaries and rescued the hostages off the Sri Lankan coast.
She was one of the first vessels in Indian Navy to receive Barak-1 SAM System. Six months back, she donated her AD weapons (Barak-1 SAMs and AK-630 CIWS) to aircraft carrier INS Vikramaditya.
