Tags:
Editor's note: This is an effort to remember the crew members of the INS Khukri. On 9 December 1971, the INS Khukri sank after it was torpedoed by a Pakistani submarine. The names of the 176 sailors and 18 officers who died are recorded below\; there were 67 survivors.
We invite their family members, friends, colleagues and others who knew them to send us their recollections about the martyrs. There will be a separate page for each person of the 194 INS Khukri martyrs. Please send all materials to indiaofthepast@gmail.com. This is an ongoing effort, and information will be added as it becomes available to us.
This list of those who died is taken from Vice Admiral G M Hiranandani (Retd.) Transition to Triumph: Indian Navy 1965: 1975, available at http://indiannavy.nic.in/book/battle-casualties-indo-pakistan-war-1971?page=0,0
