India’s PTI News quoted Indian senior officers as saying that the Indian Navy deployed indigenous Anti-Submarine Warfare corvette INS Kamorta and missile corvette INS Karmuk for the second edition of SITMEX.
The Singaporean Navy sent the Formidable-class frigate Intrepid and Endurance-class landing ship tank Endeavour, while the Royal Thai Navy sent the Chao Phraya-class frigate Kraburi to the drill.
The exercise is being conducted as a ‘non-contact, at sea only’ drill in view of the complicated developments of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The first event of this kind, hosted by the Indian Navy, was conducted off Port Blair in September 2019./.
