SAIL Steel used in next gen stealth anti submarines corvette INS Kiltan

[Anony]

INS Kiltan, the Anti Submarine Warfare Corvette of the Indian Navy, designed under Project-28, was launched on March 26, 2013.

With nearly 90 percent indigenous content, the efforts made by Indian Navy and Defence Shipyards towards the national goal of indigenization and self-reliance got a major impetus with this latest ASW Corvette launch.

The ship’s hull form is highly efficient with excellent sea-keeping and maneuverability characteristics with overall length of 109 meters. The ship can cut through the sea at a very high speed of 25 Knots.

Hull of the ship is built with warship grade high tensile indigenous steel. The DMR 249A steel has been developed and produced by Steel Authority of India Limited.

DMR 249A is a low carbon low alloyed steel and the specified gas contents of hydrogen is less than 2 parts per million (PPM) that gives the customized strength and toughness.

Point number 5 is not quite true.... it uses a mix of Russian, Italian and Israeli weapons (except the torpedoes maybe).

Does anyone have an image of the completed Kamorta ASW frigate. But damn yaraa, our production capacity is definitely growing. Can't wait to see how quickly the recently upgraded modular yards will churn out these beauties.

I said indigenously developed weapon not only indigenously developed weapon.

This is all i got :

1. Its the 2nd Kamorta corvette Pic in which it is nearly fully complete.

2. Now this one is the third Kamorta, the INS Kiltan, its got better composite structure than the first two. Hope u'll like it.

very good. I hope all upcoming P-17As,P-15s and P-15Bs use SAIL produced steel'

First P-15(due to be inducted) has been built by using SAIL produced steel

Does anyone have an image of the completed Kamorta ASW frigate. But damn yaraa, our production capacity is definitely growing. Can't wait to see how quickly the recently upgraded modular yards will churn out these beauties.

Due to modernization, production time has been reduced by 40 to 50%

Kamorta class corvettes have enough firepower to put some Frigates to shame, unfortunately the project has faced delays, but now it seems things are catching up....

 

[Anony]

We are going good ...but with slow pace.

Pace will increase. MDL & GRSE has started modular approach of building warship wherein a frigate can get completed within 60 odd months.

 

[Archie]

well The first of these boats are supposed to be delivered in August 2013

So lets see..

 

[Kinetic]

its made up of carbon composite to make it stealth.
