Coast Guard Patrol Vessel Warship Export

First warship export from India.
Designed and built by Garden Reach Shipbuilders, Barracuda is a small Coast Guard vessel but it means a great leap for India. It is supposed to be exported! This is going to Mauritius and two other ships will go to Sri Lanka.

"... Barracuda, the coast guard ship will be the first warship export by India. A 75 ft by 15 ft vessel, the vessel can house 20 sailors. ..."
"... In fact, the Barracuda will also have a feature that is first in its class-it will help in controlling oil spill. ..."
"... The Ministry of Defence has asked the Indian Navy to to identify a shipyard, which could acquire the technology from a foreign nation and build its own submarines. ..."
