ANSWER:-
A Submarine museum stands on a beach of Vizag. It is the only one of its kind in Asia. Only the USA, the UK and Russia have such museums.
INS Kursura/Karasura, built in the USSR and commissioned in the Indian Navy as its fourth submarine on December 18, 1969, played a crucial role in the 1971 Indo-Pak war. Decommissioned in February 2001, it now majestically rests in an enclosed area at the Ramakrishna Beach in Visakhapatnam in Andhra Pradesh. The narrow entrance has been cut open wider and exhibits have been put in place, including a photo gallery depicting the sub's past glory and mannequins to show the working of various units.
