INS Sudarshini, which sailed from Livorno, is which kind of ship of the Indian Navy?

  1. A.A sail training ship
  2. B.A guided missile destroyer
  3. C.A submarine tender
  4. D.An aircraft carrier

Correct answer

A. A sail training ship

Explanation

The correct answer is a sail training ship. The Ministry of Defence release describes INS Sudarshini in exactly these words and records that she set sail from Livorno in Italy after completing a successful port call. During the stay the ship took part in professional interactions and cross-training visits that strengthened ties between the two navies, and Indian sea trainees visited the Italian Naval Academy and the Italian ship ITS Virginio Fasan. Option B is wrong because a guided missile destroyer is a front-line warship and not a training platform for young officers and cadets. Option C is wrong because a submarine tender supports submarines at sea and no such role is described here. Option D is wrong because an aircraft carrier operates fixed wing aircraft and is a far larger class of vessel. The role of a ship is asked as often as its name.
