INS Nishank, INS Akshay decommissioned after 32 years in service #CAbyMilitaryChoice @militarychoiceblog

The Indian Navy decommissioned its two ships, INS Akshay and INS Nishank, after 32 years of service including participation in Operation Talwar and Operation Parakram.

While INS Nishank, a high speed missile craft, was commissioned in 1989, INS Akshay was commissioned a year later in 1990

Last week, the Navy decommissioned INS Gomti after 34 years in service. As per naval traditions, a ship never dies, and, therefore, whenever a ship is decommissioned, a new ship is commissioned with the same name.
