Iran warship docks at Indian port of Kochi

An Iranian warship has docked in the southwest Indian port of Kochi, a government source in New Delhi said Friday, after a US submarine sank another Iranian frigate and a third docked in Sri Lanka.

"IRIS Lavan... docked at Kochi on March 4. In this context, its crew of 183 are currently accommodated at naval facilities in Kochi," the source said.

Like the IRIS Dena, the Iranian warship sunk by a US submarine Wednesday off the coast of Sri Lanka, IRIS Lavan had also been part of a naval fleet review off India's port city of Visakhapatnam.
