COME OCTOBER and Indian Navy will get a shot in the arm with a new anti-submarine warship joining its fleet at the eastern coast in Visakhapatnam.

Named INS Kadmatt, the anti-submarine warfare (ASW) corvette, is now at the final stage of furnishing at the Garden Reach Shipbuilders and Engineers Ltd (GRSE) in Kolkata. GRSE began building the warship in 2011.

“The ship is almost ready and will be commissioned into the Indian Navy sometimes in October this year. There will be a handing over ceremony in Kolkata, followed by the actual commissioning ceremony at the Eastern Naval Command in Visakhapatnam about a month later,” GRSE chairman and managing director, Rear Admiral (Retd.) A K Verma told The Statesman on Tuesday.

Kadmatt is the second warship in Project-28 (P28), under which GRSE is building four ASWs for the Navy with 90 per cent indigenous contents and design. The first one ~ INS Kamorta ~ was inducted into the Navy on 23 August last year, and since then has been a major attraction during visits to foreign countries.

“The work on the remaining two ASWs in P-28 ~ Kiltan and Kavaratti~ is also in progress. We will handover them to the Navy in 2016 and 2017, respectively,” Rear Admiral Verma said. All the four ASW corvettes are named after islands in Andaman & Nicobar and Lakshwadweep.

Kadmatt is around 109 metres in length, around 14 metres wide at its maximum bulge and has an approximate displacement of 3,200 tons. Being built at an estimated cost of Rs 3,000-crore, it happens to be a modern warship with advanced stealth features that have very low Radar Cross Section and very low radiated underwater noise.

The ship is equipped with Super Rapid Gun Mounting, Anti-aircraft Guns, Torpedo Launcher, Rocket Launcher and Chaff Launcher as well as early Warning, Navigation, Fire Control Radars, Under-Water Sensors and an integrated Communication facility and Electronic Warfare System.

The Navy plans to deploy Kadmatt as an advance screen for the Carrier Battle Group to counter any submarine threat and it will be a feared platform for lurking enemy submarines and their nemesis within India’s territorial waters. It is expected to play a significant role in Navy’s submarine hunter/killer capabilities.

Kadmatt is powered by four indigenously designed 3,888 KW diesel engines at 1,050 rpm and has an endurance of about 3,450 nautical miles at 18 knots. The ship will be manned by 17 officers and 106 sailors, and can achieve a maximum speed of 25 knots.

And yesterday I checked visakhapatnam harbor (HSL) on google maps and found three ships and one submarine under construction..Do u know which ships are that? Did govt released any press report those ships?


On Topic: How many ASW ships does IN is going to induct?

They were probably docked for refits? Since HSL is cash-strapped and is executing only one new order at the moment - India's first Missile Range Instrumentation Ship -
LIVEFIST: REVEALED: Navy Ship That Could Save Dying Indian Shipyard

INS Aridhaman is being constructed at Shipbuilding Centre Visakhapatnam.

HSL is expected to have orders worth over Rs.25,000 crore by year-end. Two Strategic Operations Vehicles (mini submarines) worth Rs.6,000 crore, two Landing Platform Docks, each costing Rs.4,000 crore, and five Fleet Support Ships/Tankers valued at Rs.10,000 crore are at various stages of consideration.
HSL likely to get high-value orders - The Hindu

On Topic: How many ASW ships does IN is going to induct?

Indian Navy will induct 4 (Kamorta-class) + 8 (Project 28A) = 12 ASW Corvettes. INS Kamorta was inducted in 2014 - INS Kadmatt will be inducted in 2015 - INS Kiltan and INS Kavaratti will be inducted in 2016 and 2017 respectively.

Tender for Project 28A is still to be issued.

What about the Scorpene submarine ? Triple Dhamaka !!!

Actually it is heading out for sea trails - will be commissioned in the Indian Navy in 2016 only.

NO , I don't think they are docked for refitting..They are in copper brown colour . It means they are under construction

 

[Chanakya's_Chant]

Waiting for barak8 test from ins kolkata <3\m/

Will probably be tested soon - The vertical launch units of the LR-SAM have been built into the vessel and the MF-STAR [multifunction surveillance and threat alert radar] is in place for missile guidance - all IN needs to do is to take delivery of the missile, load it and fire.

HSL is at present constructing some HSL Class Patrol Boats for Coast Guard and a research ship related to ballistic missiles and radar stuff.

Other than that there is presently a Collins class submarine docked in Vizag harbour for exercises with Indian Navy.

Seriously I like your humour Sir
Between how many subs will purchase to modernise your PN?

now that will be telling. hush hush

our area of operation is smaller. mainly to protect our trade routes and our small water front. so nothing drastic at the level of world conquest. number wont be important here for the specific job you tagged me for a correctly equipped sub will do the trick.
