‘INS Sumitra’ is what kind of vessel?

Off the east coast of Somalia, the Indian Navy's Saryu-class patrol ship INS Sumitra freed hostage fishermen. Built by Goa Shipyard, it is the final vessel in its class and was put into service in 2014. Its main responsibilities, under the Eastern Naval Command, are escort operations, fleet support, anti-piracy patrols, EEZ surveillance, and maritime security. It is based in Chennai. Its crucial responsibilities to regional security are highlighted by the most recent successful rescue.
