The Indian Navy has completed "service life extension refit" of a 32-year-old Mauritius Coast Guard Ship (MCGS) Guardian ship. The six-month-long overhaul in Mumbai was undertaken in furtherance of the Navy's diplomatic outreach, the Western Naval Command (WNC) said. The process started on 1 Dec'17 at Naval Dockyard; it ensured timely completion of its hull, engineering, electrical, and weapon work package, WNC said.

The MCGS Guardian, after successfully completing all the mandated trials, is now set to return to Mauritius "as good as new", the WNC's official statement said. While bidding farewell to the ship and the crew, the Admiral Superintendent of Naval Dockyard presented a memento and a compendium of reports of all trials conducted on the vessel, stated the city-headquartered WNC.
