Decommissioning Ceremony - INS Ganga

Decommissioning Ceremony - INS Ganga

Indian Naval Ship Ganga, an indigenously built frigate of the Indian Navy was decommissioned on 22 March 2018 after rendering more than three decades of service to the nation. The ship was commissioned on 30 December 1985 and represented a big step in the nation’s warship building capability. The decommissioning ceremony was attended by officers and men, both serving and retired, who had served onboard the ship in the past. The poignant ceremony, which saw the naval ensign hauled down for the last time at sunset, was conducted by Captain NP Pradeep, the last Commanding Officer of the ship. The Chief Guest for the ceremony was Vice Admiral AK Bhal, who served the ship from 1989 to 1991 and the special guest of honour was Vice Admiral KK Kohli (Retd), the first Commanding Officer of INS Ganga.
