INS Kursura Submarine Museum

About this place

This is one of the most unique attractions in Andhra Pradesh—walking inside a real submarine and experiencing narrow corridors, control rooms, and the lived reality of naval service. It’s exciting for families and history lovers because it feels immersive, not like a regular museum: you see the submarine’s structure, storytelling displays, and the “real scale” of maritime defence life.

History & highlights

INS Kursura served in the Indian Navy for decades and was later converted into a museum on RK Beach after decommissioning (decommissioned in 2001; museum opened for public access in 2002). Its transformation into a museum reflects a heritage choice—preserving a defence asset as a public learning space and a permanent symbol of the city’s naval connection.
