Anchored gracefully along the iconic RK Beach waterfront, the INS Kurusura Submarine Museum is one of Visakhapatnam’s most celebrated attractions and a proud symbol of India’s naval legacy. This Soviet-built Foxtrot-class submarine served the Indian Navy for over 31 years, patrolling the waters with distinction before being transformed into a world-class museum. Visitors who step inside the submarine embark on a rare journey into the life of submariners — a world defined by precision, discipline, and courage. Narrow passages, engineering rooms, sonar equipment, and officers’ cabins have been meticulously preserved to offer an authentic glimpse of underwater warfare. Knowledgeable guides narrate engaging stories of operations, survival challenges, and naval technology, making the tour deeply immersive. With its dramatic coastal backdrop, outdoor exhibits, and historical significance, the INS Kurusura Museum is not just a tourist attraction—it’s a tribute to India’s maritime strength. It remains one of Vizag’s most unique and memorable experiences.
