India inducts Russian nuclear submarine into navy
2012-04-05
NEW DELHI - India has added a Russian Nerpa nuclear submarine to its navy, becoming the sixth country to operate underwater nuclear-powered vessels.
Hear that, Pakistan?
The ship renamed INS Chakra-II is on a 10-year lease from Russia at a cost of nearly $1 billion.

WednesdayÂ’s induction of the submarine takes India into an elite group of countries operating underwater nuclear-powered vessels. It joins the United States, France, Russia, Britain and China.

Defense Minister A.K. Antony says the submarine will strengthen the Indian navy.
