Memphis, Tennessee: Raksha Mantri Rajnath Singh, during his official tour of the United States, visited the William B. Morgan Large Cavitation Channel (LCC) at the Naval Surface Warfare Centre (NSWC) in Memphis. The LCC is recognized as one of the most advanced water tunnel facilities globally, used for testing submarines, torpedoes, naval surface ships, and propellers. Singh was given a comprehensive briefing about the facility’s capabilities and witnessed a live tunnel experiment.
Accompanied by key dignitaries, including the Indian Ambassador to the US, the Director General of Naval Operations from the Indian Navy, and the DRDO Defence Technology Counsellor, the Defence Minister’s visit underscored the growing strategic cooperation between India and the US in the defense sector. Singh was received by the US Deputy Under Secretary of the Navy for Policy and briefed by the Commander and Technical Director of the NSWC.
