Thanks, guys. I did indeed mix up the two. I'll correct them a.s.a.p.

I see what happened, you mixed DWARKA up with DUMRA! It was DUMRA that was built in 1946, became the DAMAN in 1976 and was scrapped in 1979.

Some of the boat's history appears to have been mixed up. According to other sources (Miramar) she lasted until 1982 and was never renamed:
