The movement of INS Sindhughosh to harbour after deployment at sea on 17th January 2014 was suspended due to receding tide. On inspection, underwater hull and appendages were found to be intact and satisfactory. Thereafter, the submarine was put to sea as programmed. The Board of Inquiry has ascertained that the incident of suspended movement of submarine was partly due to delay in maintenance dredging. Dredging has been undertaken regularly except from October 2011 to December 2013 on account of delay in progressing the maintenance dredging contract.
