KOLKATA: Kavaratti, the last of the four anti -submarine warfare class stealth corvettes being built for India under Project 28, will be launched here next week.

Designed by the Directorate of Naval Design and built by Garden Reach Ship Builders and Engineers, the contract for the construction of four P28 ships was signed in June, 2012, with the project priced at Rs 7,800 crore.

The corvette, with a displacement of 3,300 tonnes, has a lenght of 109.1 metres and measures 13.7-m at beam.

The ship is propelled by four diesel engines to achieve speeds in excess of 25 knots and has an endurance of more than 3,400 nautical miles.


Defence sources said that about 90 per cent of Kavaratti is indigenous and the ship is "well equipped" to fight in nuclear, chemical and biological warfare conditions.

INS Kamorta, the first ship under this project, was commissioned by the Navy last year.

Kadmatt and Kiltan are scheduled for delivery between 2015-2017.

Launching of a ship means transferring the vessel to water.

"Kavaratti, the last of the four anti -submarine warfare class stealth corvettes being built for India under Project 28, will be launched here next week." Does this mean we start constructing next week? When is it to be commissioned?

2012 and one already commissioned.
Very good for a government shipyard.

We need more in numbers!

 

[jaiind]

how does these corvettes will find stealth subs under ocean?? big task for these corvettes

 

[migflug]

We need more in numbers![/QUOT
We r in process of building 28 corvettes of which 12 are komorta class(8 follow on ) and 16 are 700 tonnes shallow water craft.
Since we have fully developed this ship we should r/d for for more capable ASW while producing these .

This is "MV kavaratti" a ferry vessel between Cochin and lakdeep.

 

[HariPrasad]

it should be in Kamorta class. Am i right?

The speed is inadequate I think,after all its a corvette.

For Sub hunting you need a speed between 15 to 20 knots.

Yes.

May be,but when enemy sub fire back with its torpedo we have run away/perform quick manures as fast as possible.so more speed is an added advantage,and lot of surface vessels are capable of doing 30 to 45 knots so why can't we do the same?

In sub hunting you can't track sub in high speed & if submarine launch the torpedo then ship would launch their anti ship decoys. It would be not as maneuverable & accelerate as high speed FACs.
Destroyers & Frigates which can cross 35 knots would also take same speed during sub hunting.
