INS Sudarshini concluded a successful port call to Antigua, departing on May 31, 2026.

INS Sudarshini departed Antigua on May 31, 2026 after concluding a four-day port call that marked an important milestone in India's maritime outreach and engagement with Caribbean nations under the ongoing Lokayan 26 expedition. The visit enhanced maritime cooperation between India and Antigua.

During the visit, the ship hosted several dignitaries, including H.E. Mr Gaston Browne, Prime Minister of Antigua and Barbuda. The Commanding Officer also called on Brigadier Telbert Benjamin, Chief of Defence Staff of the Antigua and Barbuda Defence Force (ABDF).

Professional exchanges strengthened linkages between the two maritime forces. The ship was opened for visitors providing them an opportunity to experience the unique heritage and sail-training traditions of the Indian Navy.

The visit underscored India's commitment to fostering enduring maritime partnerships and promoting goodwill in line with the vision of MAHASAGAR and Vasudhaiva Kutumbkam- The World is One Family. The ship now proceeds to the United States to participate in the International Naval Review and SAIL 250 celebrations commemorating the 250th anniversary of American Independence.
