Sudarshini bids adieu to New York! 🇮🇳🇺🇸
After a spectacular participation in the International Naval Review 250 & Sail4th 250, INS Sudarshini got underway from the Port of New York, transiting past the Statue of Liberty.

In New York, whilst berthed by the Brooklyn Bridge, the tall ship showcased India’s rich maritime heritage to visitors & hosted high-level dignitaries, strengthening India-US strategic cooperation.

The ship now heads towards New England. Ahoy Boston! ⚓️
