Multi-Role Support Vessel

Multi-Role Support Vessel (MRSV) is a type of warship that was first sought out by the Indian Navy in 2011,[2] during a procurement program, to find a vessel that could fill multiple roles, including amphibious warfare operations, force projection, various aviation operations, area defence including security for islands that are sovereign territory and humanitarian and disaster relief operations. An acquisition tender worth billions of dollars was offered and there was initially eight respondents from the U.S. and Europe.
