New Delhi: INS Konkan, a mine sweeper under the Eastern Naval Command (ENC), caught fire at the Naval Dockyard in Visakhapatnam on Wednesday.
The fire was, however, doused before it could cause any damage, defence sources said.
The ship is in the dry dock for maintenance. No casualty was reported, they said, adding, the cause of the fire was being investigated.
The Pondicherry class M-72 ship was undergoing repairs at the time of the fire. The cabin of the vessel is learnt to have been totally gutted.
Along with Navy fire tenders four other local fire engines rushed to the spot to help douse the fire which took over an hour to put out.
