New Delhi, February 22

The Indian Navy has lifted its tipped-over warship INS Betwa back to its sailing position, which is called “at even keel” in sailing parlance.The warship was undergoing a re-fit at the dry dock in Mumbai when it tipped over on December 5. Two persons were killed in the incident. The warship had been lifted from its 90 degree position, Navy spokesperson Capt DK Sharma said in New Delhi today.The warship was undergoing a two-year re-fit cycle that started in April 2016. A re-fit is carried out on ships as maintenance jobs cannot be done at sea. — TNS
