Third OPV Joins Indian Navy

The Indian Navy has taken delivery of its third 105m Naval Offshore Patrol Vessel (NPOV), named INS SUMEDHA.


With today's delivery, Goa Shipyard achieved a milestone of 200 delivered vessels and joined the elite class of shipbuilders.

The OPV was in-house built and the largest constructed ship by Goa Shipyard for the Indian Navy.

Goa Shipyard has so far delivered and built Missile Crafts, Fast Patrol Vessels, Extra Fast Attack Crafts, Offshore Patrol Vessels, Advanced OPVs and Naval OPVs, Torpedo Recovery Vessels and 126 GRP Interceptor Boats.

The Indian Navy has ordered four NOPVs from Goa Shipyard Limited. The first and second of the series, INS SARYU and INS SUNAYANA, were handed over to the Navy by GSL on 21 December 2012 and 02 September 2013 respectively.

Not sure if they can do sub but minesweepers and ASW corvettes like P-28a would be possible.

It's quite sad to see that our warships design institutions are still not at all very efficient in space management.I mean just take a look at -----is or the Turks - they have been putting anti ship missiles even in 400 ton class vessels and here we are wasting even 2500 ton class hulls like Kamorta class corvettes or these NOPVs!!
Some may say that these vessels are for different roles and hence not needed to be fitted as such.But giving them a secondary anti ship capability wouldn't hurt that much either - would it now??These vessels,when armed with AShMs and SHORADS,could form a formidable fleet of second line of surface combatants only if....a BIG IF our Naval Design Bureau had shown a little bit more far-sight and common sense.Seems common sense is not so common after all!!

Pls design me a ship which would be cheap but have enough endurance to be capable of sustained patrol of horn of Africa, pls give a rough estimate on the spec. of the ship you would design?
