India's First Anti-Submarine Warfare Ship Ready To Join Navy

The newly built Kamorta warship is equipped with some stealth features and it will also hold the tag to be the first warship armed with trainable chaff launcher—Kavach. Powered by four indigenously designed 3888 KW diesel engines at 1050 rpm the ship can cover nearly 3,500 nautical miles at 18 knots.
The overall length of the ship is 109 meters and is nearly 13 metres wide at its maximum bulge. With this the ship complements a crew of 123 including 17 officers and 106 sailors.
As the ASW corvette includes 90 percent of the ship being indigenous, its stern landing deck can support the operation of a single helicopter. The Kamorta Class corvette is said to be the first Indian Navy ships to be equipped with rail-less helo traversing system and foldable hangar door.

The complete shipboard power is provided by four diesel generators supplied by Wartsila and equipped with Kirloskar Engines. The licensee of SEMT PIELSTICK of France, has delivered the engine for this warship, while raft-mounted gearboxes are supplied by DCNS (Europe's leading shipbuilders).

The INS Kamorta is readying to sail out from GRSE's base in Kolkata and will join the Navy's eastern fleet at Vishakhapatnam in July.
