Commissioning of INS Kadmatt
INS Kadmatt, second ship of Project 28 (P28) class anti-submarine warfare (ASW) corvettes, was commissioned into the Indian Navy by the Chief of Naval Staff at Naval Dockyard, Visakhapatnam. The event marks the formal induction into the Navy of the second of the four ASW corvettes, indigenously designed by the Indian Navy’s in-house organisation, Directorate of Naval Design and constructed by the Garden Reach Shipbuilders and Engineers Limited, Kolkata.
Admiral R.K. Dhowan, Chief of the Naval Staff, said that Commissioning of INS Kadmatt marks yet another milestone in our journey towards self-reliance and ‘Make in India’.
Regarded as a very prestigious acquisition, INS Kadmatt is one of the most potent warships to have been constructed in India. The ships of P28 class have been constructed using high-grade steel (DMR 249A) produced in India. With a displacement of 3,300 tonnes, the sleek and magnificent ship spans 109 metres in length and 13.7 metres at the beam and is propelled by four diesel engines to achieve speeds in excess of 25 knots with an endurance of 3,450 nm. Some of the advanced stealth features have been incorporated in this ship.
