History
The INS Kursura (S20) served in the Indian Navy from 1969 to 2001. It played a crucial role in various naval operations, including the 1971 Indo-Pak war. After its decommissioning, it was preserved as a museum to showcase the history and technology of submarines. The submarine was painstakingly towed to the shore and converted into a museum, a challenging feat of engineering. The museum was inaugurated in 2002 and has since become a popular tourist attraction, educating visitors about the Indian Navy's submarine arm and the sacrifices made by the submariners. It stands as a testament to India's maritime heritage and the bravery of its naval personnel.
