| ==Service history==
| |
| In 2006, INS ''Sukanya'' served as the [[Presidential yacht]] for the 2006 Naval Fleet Review.<ref name=2006-fr>{{cite web|url=http://indiannavy.nic.in/NewPfr06/index2.htm |title=PFR 2006 |accessdate=5 September 2006 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20060706132634/http://indiannavy.nic.in/NewPfr06/index2.htm |archivedate=6 July 2006 }}</ref> In February 2010, ''Sukanya'' escorted the [[Maldivian Coast Guard]] vessel {{ship|Maldivian ship|Huravee||2}} home via [[Colombo]], [[Sri Lanka]]. ''Huravee'' was returning home after a refit in India.
| |
|
| |
| On 20 and 24 September 2011, [[pirate]]s in the [[Gulf of Aden]] attempted to approach vessels being escorted by INS ''Sukanya''. The attack was warded off and the pirates disarmed by a team of marine commandos. Indian Navy officials seized three rifles, eight magazines and about 320 rounds of ammunition from the pirate boat with 14 pirates. Ladders and [[grapnels]] used by pirates to board merchant vessels were recovered. The boat was carrying a large quantity of fuel and [[Liquefied petroleum gas|LPG]] cylinders, in addition to communication and navigation equipment. This was the fourth time INS ''Sukanya'' thwarted a pirate attack in the Gulf of Aden. On 11 November 2011, ''Sukanya'' again thwarted piracy attempts near the Gulf of Aden.

| In December 2014, a fire damaged the only de-salination plant in [[Maldives]] plunging it into a severe water crisis. On 4 December 2014, INS ''Sukanya'', while patrolling off [[Kochi]], was immediately diverted to Maldives. The ship carries two de-salination plants on board with capacity to produce 20 tonnes of fresh water daily which were used to avert the water crisis.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/slideshows/nation-world/heres-how-indian-navy-is-helping-water-crisis-hit-maldives/slideshow/45409358.cms |title=Here's how Indian Navy is helping water crisis-hit Maldives |newspaper=The Economic Times |date=8 December 2014 |accessdate=28 June 2016}}</ref>
