The PS Zoroaster.
India has formally transferred a 50 metre patrol vessel to the Seychelles Coast Guard during a virtual summit between Seychelles President Wavel Ramkalawan and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
The vessel, PS Zoroaster, was transferred on 8 April as part of efforts to improve maritime security, although the vessel had arrived in the Seychelles in mid-March.
“India is committed to strengthening the maritime security of Seychelles. Today, we are handing over a new, state of the art, Made in India, Fast Patrol Vessel to the Seychelles Coast Guard. This vessel will help Seychelles to protect its maritime resources,” Modi said.

Yet, Quad is a toddler. What all can happen when President Biden grooms it into a boisterous adolescent?
