A passing exercise also known as ‘PASSEX’ is an exercise done between two navies to ensure that the navies are able to communicate and cooperate in times of war or humanitarian relief.

Earlier, the Algerian Naval Ship (ANS) Ezzadjer, a corvette class of ship had visited India’s Kochi in August 2016.

Various interactions between the ship and the Indian Navy’s Southern Naval Command had ensued during the visit.

The ship is currently commanded by Captain Mahesh Mangipudi and has a complement of over 300 personnel. It is equipped with a versatile range of weapons and sensors and is among the earliest stealth frigates of the Indian Navy. (India News Network)
