Historical note
The India INS Arihant (SSBN‑80) is India’s first indigenously built nuclear‑powered ballistic missile submarine, a milestone in the country’s maritime defense. Developed under the Advanced Technology Vessel (ATV) program and launched in 2009 (commissioned in 2016), Arihant represents a strategic leap in India’s naval capabilities. The vessel features a pressurized water reactor and is designed for stealth, endurance, and deterrence patrols.
This model is an independent, non‑official collectible inspired by that historic vessel. It is intended for display, education, and appreciative collectors who seek a luxury, handcrafted representation of this important class of submarine.
