Indian submarine INS Sindhurakshak is up for an upgrade at Zvyozdochka Shiprepairing Centre at Severodvinsk in Russia in the year 2010. The submarine sank in an explosion while preparing for a long patrol in Mumbai three months ago, within a few months after the major refit. The yard, which refitted five submarines of the class, is likely to win a contract for life-extending refit of two Indian submarines of the class. Photo: Special Arrangement
