India sending 3 ships to Haifa in goodwill visit
India announces that it will send three ships from its navy’s Western Fleet to Haifa in May as part of a goodwill visit to mark 25 years of diplomatic ties.
The INS Mumbai, INS Trishul and INS Aditya — respectively, a destroyer, frigate and tanker — will stay in Haifa from May 9 to 12, the Indian embassy announces.
“In the course of the visit, the Indian crew will interact with personnel of the Israeli Navy, and there will be exchange visits, sports activities and courtesy calls. The crew will also visit various areas of cultural and historical interest in Israel,” the embassy says.
