INS Kiltan (P30) is an anti-submarine warfare corvette of the Indian Navy built under Project 28. It is the third of four Kamorta-class corvettes. The ship was built by the Garden Reach Shipbuilders and Engineers (GRSE), Kolkata, launched on 26 March 2013, and commissioned on 16 October 2017. Kiltan represents a leap forward in the Navy's attempts at localisation with as much as 90% of its content drawn from India itself.[6][7][8]

History

The keel of Kiltan was laid in August 2010 and it was launched in Kolkata on 26 March 2013 by Chitra Joshi, wife of Admiral D. K. Joshi, the Chief of Naval Staff. The ship cost an estimated ₹1,700 crores.[9][10] The ship takes its name from the Kiltan Island, a coral island that is part of India's archipelagic Union Territory of Lakshadweep.[11] It is the successor ship to the INS Kiltan, which was an Arnala-class corvette which participated in Operation Trident, and was later decommissioned in 1987.[12]

Kiltan was handed over to the Navy by the GRSE on 14 October 2017,[13] and was commissioned into the Navy’s Eastern Naval Command in Visakhapatnam on 16 October 2017, in the presence of the then Defence Minister Nirmala Sitharaman and Navy chief Admiral Sunil Lanba.[8]

Design

The Kamorta-class has been designed by the Indian Navy’s Directorate of Naval Design as part of Project 28.[6] It is capable of fighting under nuclear, biological and chemical environments. It will be a frontline warship of the Indian Navy with advanced stealth features and a low radar signature that enhances its anti-submarine warfare capability. The ship will have a complement of 17 officers and 106 sailors.[9]

Features

Kiltan is India's first ship to have a superstructure of carbon fibre composite material that has been integrated with its main hull, resulting in lower top weight and maintenance costs and improved stealth features. GRSE thus became the first defence shipyard in India to successfully fuse the carbon composite superstructure with the hull.[13] The ship is 109 m (358 ft) long and 12.8 m (42 ft) broad and is highly maneuverable with a top speed of 25 knots (46 km/h; 29 mph).[6] It has a displacement of 3,250 tonnes and a range of about 3,450 nautical miles (6,390 km; 3,970 mi) at 18 knots (33 km/h; 21 mph).[13] It is powered by 4 diesel engines that generate a combined power of 3,000 kW (4,000 hp) and propelled by a main unit of four 3,888 kW (5,214 hp) diesel engines at 1,050 rpm.[9][14]

Kiltan is to be armed with a range of Indian developed cutting-edge weapons and sensors including "a medium-range gun, torpedo tube launchers, rocket launchers and a close-in weapon system".[6] The ship will also contain an integrated communication system and an electronic warfare system.[14]

Service history

2024

In May 2024, INS Kiltan along with INS Delhi (D61) and INS Shakti (A57) was a part of the three-ship flotilla led by Rear admiral Rajesh Dhankar, the FOCEF. On 6 May 2024, the flotilla reached Singapore for a three day visit as a part of operational deployment of the Navy's Eastern Fleet to the South China Sea. The flotilla will then proceed to Malaysia and Philippines, respectively.[15][16][17] On 12 May 2024, INS Kiltan reached Cam Ranh Bay in Vietnam and will participate in a Maritime Partnership Exercise with the Vietnam People's Navy.[18][19] Later, INS Kiltan rejoined INS Delhi and INS Shakti. On 20 May, the flotilla arrived at Manila, Philippines under the command of Rear Admiral Rajesh Dhankhar. During the visit, the navies will take part in an exercise and other activities like subject expert matter exchange, cross deck visits, cultural visits, collaborative community outreach programmes.[20] On 23 May the flotilla completed its visit to Philippines which was a part of the Operational Deployment of the Eastern fleet to the South China Sea.[21][22] On 25 May, Kiltan reached Muara, Brunei as a part of the deployment. The visit concluded with a Maritime Partnership Exercise with the Royal Brunei Navy on 29 May 2024.[23][24]
