India announced on Saturday 26 Feb that it has sent 2 naval ships to crisis-stricken Libya to bring back its citizen.
"INS JALASHWA and INS MYSORE have left Mumbai and will bring back Indians from Libya," a Defence department spokesperson said.
The INS JALASHWA, ex USN's TRENTON, is basically an amphibious assault platform with six medium lift helicopters onboard. She could accommodate 1,500 people and definitely can fit the purpose.

INS MYSORE on the other hand is a 6700 tonnes Indian made destroyer which should act as an escort element.
