Yard 18003 (Krishna), the first of the three Cadet Training Ships (CTS) under construction at L&T, Kattupalli (Chennai), has been launched on February 16, 2026. In keeping with the Naval traditions, Anupama Chauhan launched the ship in the presence of General Anil Chauhan, Chief of Defence Staff.

The ship is indigenously designed and built by L&T. Formal Delivery of the ship to Indian Navy is planned in end 2026. These Cadet Training Ships will be utilised for training Officer Cadets, including women, at sea after their basic training ashore, and Cadets from Friendly Foreign Countries.
This is yet another significant milestone in Indian Navy's pursuit towards indigenous shipbuilding and is in consonance with the Government of India's vision of Atmanirbhar Bharat and Make in India initiative.
