The Indian Navy has agreed to gift INS Cuddalore, a decommissioned Pondicherry-class vessel, to the Union territory of Puducherry for the creation of country’s 1st underwater museum.
It would be sent to the seabed at a depth of 26 m and 7 km off the Pondicherry coast to act as an underwater marine museum.
This would enhance tourism in the Union Territory of Pudhucherry.
