The UK’s Littoral Response Group (LRG) arrived in Chennai on March 26, as the first engagement of its deployment to the Indian Pacific region.
The Royal Fleet Auxiliary (RFA) Argus and RFA Lyme Bay which were engaged in maritime exercises with the Indian Navy in the Arabian Sea recently, would undergo essential maintenance at the Larsen & Toubro shipyard in Kattupalli near Chennai.
“This is the first time a Royal Navy vessel will undergo maintenance at an Indian shipyard — a direct result of the logistics-sharing agreement signed between the UK and India in 2022,” an official release from the British High Commission in New Delhi said.
