This day in 1981, INS Vindhyagiri, last of the Leander/Nilgiri class frigates was Commissioned. Leanders were our first major warship building project, albeit to British design. They served India well even as we subsequently designed & built guided missile frigates & destroyers.
In Sep 19, next gen Nilgiri was launched. 7 powerful guided missile frigates will be inducted over next few years, all designed & built in India. At 6000 tons they will be twice as large as their previous namesakes & many times more powerful. As we look fwd to them, let& #39;s salute
their forbears. For maritime history buffs an article written by me for 2007 issue of Quarterdeck is linked https://tinyurl.com/ybboomnd
