INS Vagir - First Indian Submarine to visit Australia

Indian Submarine INS VAGIR crew and members of HMAS Rankin and HMAS Perth join for a Barbeque meet and greet at the HMAS Stirling Off Watch Centre, followed by a friendly game of Soccer.

The Royal Australian Navy hosted the crew of Indian Naval Submarine Vagir during a visit to Fleet Base West, Western Australia in August 2023. The visit marked the first time an Indian Navy submarine had visited Australia and included maritime exercises off the coast of Western Australia involving RAN and RAAF personnel and assets.

A harbour phase provided opportunities for professional development, sporting activities and face-to-face engagement between military personnel from India and Australia.

The visit is testament to the strong strategic partnership between the two countries.
