Coastal Glimpses ft. INS Guldar

A shoreline shaped by history, strength, and service.
Anchored within it stands INS Guldar — a maritime legacy remembered for its presence, purpose, and contribution to India’s waters.

From historic shores to future-ready marine capability, every frame carries a story of protection, pride, and progress.

Built on legacy.
Moving with purpose.

From Naval Service to Underwater Legacy.
The successful scuttling of ex-INS Guldar by ITUS marks a landmark achievement in Indian maritime engineering.

On May 19, 2026, off the Sindhudurg coastline near Vijaydurg, the 1,120-tonne warship was carefully transformed into a new underwater destination — settling upright on the seabed exactly as planned.
This mission stands as a symbol of precision, preparation, and purpose. What once served the nation above the waves will now begin a noble second life beneath them — as India’s first underwater naval museum and artificial coral reef.

A proud moment for marine engineering, coastal tourism, and India’s underwater heritage.
