The INS Chakra is a Project 971 (or Project 518) Akula class submarine (NATO: Akula II) type nuclear-powered attack submarine. Construction was started in 1993, but suspended due to lack of funding. The Indian Navy sponsored the building and sea trials of the submarine provided it was given to the Indian Navy on lease for 10 years. It was launched as the K-152 Nerpa in October 2008 and entered service with the Russian Navy in late 2009. The submarine was leased to the Indian Navy in 2011, after extensive trials and was formally commissioned into service as the INS Chakra II at a ceremony in Visakhapatnam on 4 April 2012. The INS Chakra joins the Eastern Naval Command at Visakhapatnam.

| - The INS Chakra is a Project 971 (or Project 518) Akula class submarine (NATO: Akula II) type nuclear-powered attack submarine. Construction was started in 1993, but suspended due to lack of funding. The Indian Navy sponsored the building and sea trials of the submarine provided it was given to the Indian Navy on lease for 10 years. It was launched as the K-152 Nerpa in October 2008 and entered service with the Russian Navy in late 2009. The submarine was leased to the Indian Navy in 2011, after extensive trials and was formally commissioned into service as the INS Chakra II at a ceremony in Visakhapatnam on 4 April 2012. The INS Chakra joins the Eastern Naval Command at Visakhapatnam. While K-152 Nerpa was undergoing sea trials in the Sea of Japan on 8 November 2008, an accident caused the deaths of some twenty sailors and injury to twenty-one others. A fire suppression system discharged gas in the bow of the sub, suffocating civilian specialists and navy crew members.
