Dec 19, 2022
Visakhapatnam (Andhra Pradesh), Dec 19 (ANI): In a well paid tribute to Indian Navy Submarine Kursura that played a vital role during the 1971 India and Pakistan war, the submarine-turned-museum is now part of the main tourist spots in Andhra Pradesh that can be visited in Visakhapatnam. INS Kursura, situated near the War Memorial in Visakhapatnam, was India's 4th submarine. From the historical point of view, fact that the museum is inside the real Kursura Submarine plays a key role in attracting visitors from across the country. The INS Kursura has served the Indian Navy for a good 31 years before it was decommissioned in 2001. The tourist visiting the unique museum expressed their excitement over the INS Kursura and its journey. Being the only Submarine Museum in Asia, a visit to this museum becomes a must to not only gain knowledge but to honour it as well.
