Explanation

The 'Arnala' is the first of the Anti-Submarine Warfare Shallow Water Craft (ASW SWC) class ships delivered to the Indian Navy. It is indigenously designed and built by Garden Reach Shipbuilders and Engineers (GRSE), Kolkata [2]. The vessel is named after the historic Arnala Fort located off Vasai, Maharashtra, which signifies India's rich maritime heritage [4]. Furthermore, the project represents a successful collaborative defense manufacturing effort, as the ship was constructed under a Public-Private Partnership (PPP) between the state-owned GRSE and the private firm M/s L&T Shipyard [5]. The ship is designed for underwater surveillance, search and rescue, and low-intensity maritime operations, featuring over 80% indigenous content in line with the 'Aatmanirbhar Bharat' initiative. Consequently, all three statements provided in the question are correct.
