New Delhi, July 16: A French anti-aircraft warship that is docked in Goa will go out to the Arabian Sea for a Navy exercise with an Indian warship tomorrow.
The French Destroyer, FNS Jean Bart, will exercise with INS Ganga, as part of regular and sustained Indo-French Naval interaction, a Navy press release said here today.
INS Ganga, a guided missile frigate, would carry out Naval warfare manoeuvres such as defence against fast attack craft, air defence exercise, surface firing and cross embarkation of personnel with the French ship.
“FNS Jean Bart is a conventional warship and is capable of doing speeds up to 30 nautical miles. The Destroyer was built in Lorient Naval Dockyard in France and was commissioned in 1991,” the release said.
The Destroyer has a crew of about 250 personnel including 25 officers.
