US Navy Ship Arrives At Tamil Nadu Port For Repairs, 3rd Within A Year

In what's being seen as yet another defence cooperation between India and the US, Salvor became the first US ship to dock at the Kattupalli shipyard in Tamil Nadu today after the US signed an agreement with L&T. This is the third such US naval ship undergoing repairs in India. On August 7 last year, US navy ship Charles Drew had arrived at Kattupalli shipyard for repairs. The vessel had sailed into the Kattupalli shipyard after the US gave a contract to the Larsen & Toubro (L&T). Another ship, Matthew Perry, was also repaired there earlier this year.
