Which Indian Navy ship completed the Lokayan 26 sailing expedition in November 2026?

  1. A.INS Tarangini
  2. B.INS Sudarshini
  3. C.INS Vikrant
  4. D.INS Shivalik

Correct answer

B. INS Sudarshini

Explanation

The correct answer is INS Sudarshini. The sail training ship returned to Kochi on 2 November 2026 after a ten-month transoceanic expedition named Lokayan 26, during which it covered more than 22,000 nautical miles and called at 17 ports in 11 countries spread across Asia, Europe, Africa and North America. The Flag-in Ceremony at Kochi was presided over by Vice Admiral Sameer Saxena, Flag Officer Commanding-in-Chief of the Southern Naval Command, and the ship was received with a water cannon salute and the Naval Band. Option A is wrong because the release names only INS Sudarshini as the ship that completed this voyage. Option C is wrong because the ship in question is a sail training vessel, not an aircraft carrier. Option D is wrong for the same reason, since the expedition was built around training under sail rather than a frontline warship deployment.
