India has taken a decision to go forward with a South Korean shipyard for the construction of eight minesweepers for the Indian Navy. India has been on a quest to replace its ageing minesweeping ships in the fleet for a while and the Indian Defence Ministry will soon place the order. The Indian Navy wants the minesweepers to be an important element of its blue-water navy for the protection of Indian interests from the Red Sea to the Indian Ocean.
