Kursura was commissioned on 18 December 1969 and was decommissioned on 27 February 2001 after 31 years of service. She participated in the Indo-Pakistan War of 1971, where she played a key role in patrol missions. She later participated in naval exercises with other nations and made many goodwill visits to other countries. After decommissioning, she was preserved as a museum for public access on R K Beach in Visakhapatnam. Kursura has the distinction of being one of the very few submarine museums to retain originality and has been called a "must-visit destination" of Visakhapatnam. Despite being a decommissioned submarine, she still receives the navy's "Dressing Ship" honor, which is usually awarded only to active ships. INS Kursura had a glorious record of serving the nation for 3 decades. It has traversed 73500 nautical miles and clocked over 3000 dived hours and participated in all types of Naval Operations. Installing this decommissioned submarine on the RK Beach itself was a daunting task and it took almost 18 months to beach the submarine and convert it into a museum. The Kursura Museum was thrown open to the public on 24 Aug 2002. The submarine displays its complete weapon package, including the torpedoes.
