3 warships were launched in Kolkata



Kolkata, West Bengal: As three new warships join maritime services in Indian Navy, a top navy officer has said that another 48 of them are currently under construction in various shipyards across the country.

They include aircraft carriers, frigates, destroyers, submarines, corvettes and fast attack crafts.


The Vice Admiral, P Murugesan launched three Water Jet Fast Attack Crafts (WJFAC), or warships at the Garden Reach Shipbuilders and Engineers Ltd. (GRSE) in Kolkata today.


Mr Murugesan said, "It is a proud reflection of our indigenous capabilities that we are building all kinds of warships. GRSE has so far built 94 ships for the navy".
The warships launched today are ideally suited for interception of fast-moving surface craft, performing anti-smuggling operations, fishery protection, search and rescue operations.

Powered by the latest 4,000-series MTU engines with advanced machinery control system, the ships will be fitted with CRN-91 indigenous 30mm guns and will have the latest communication equipment and radars to enable effective surveillance.
These warships launched are named after the Andaman and Nicobar group of islands, Tarmugli, Tillanchang and Tihayu.

Hey can anyone tell me was this follow on fast attack jet project in open.
i don;t think so this was covert project.

Those ships are an improved version of fast attack craft (Car Nicobar-class patrol vessels) built by GRSE from 2009 to 2011.

The ships are to meet critical requirement of crafts with improved stealth at networking capabilities. These WJFACs are ideally suited for interception of fast moving surface craft and will perform anti-smuggling, fishery protection and search & rescue operations.

ok Hey BTW do you think that Superman vs Batman will be a hit.

Yes, of course - Ben Affleck may turn out to be the best ever to portray Batman - It's probably the most awaited movie right now!

The trailer was awesome!

One day will come, our IN Coast guard ships will make miserable nights to our neighbor's entire navy fleet

Coast guard needs to be expanded to an extent to protect the Indian fisherman that are being arrested by pakistan and sri lanka every now then.

Yes, of course - Ben Affleck may turn out to be the best ever to portray Batman - It's probably the most awaited movie right now!

The trailer was awesome!

Ben Affleck might be good or might be a disaster as a batman. He can't match the darkness to the character brought by Christian Bale.
I hope am wrong though.

You gotta be kidding me. He is a disaster waiting to happen. Christian Bale absolutely rocked as Batman. They should have looked harder for another actor to play the role:/
