Did you know that an Indian company made famous warships for British Navy ?
HMS Trincomalee was made by Wadias in the then Bombay #Mumbai in 1816 , which still does exist and currently is a museum. Two more famous war ships were made by Jamsetjee Bomanjee Wadia for Royal Navy .

He made HMS Minden . And it is related to #US ! Francis Scott Key wrote poem "Defense of Fort M'Henry", on that warship. It is the lyrics for "The Star-Spangled Banner" - the national anthem of the US. Amazing isn't it?
Now let's talk about another ship.
