New water bird

A. Roy Chowdhury

A group of naval officers on the warship INS Beas ( which is to be commissioned on Monday) at Garden Reach Ship Builders in Kolkata on Sunday. INS Beas is the third ship of the indigenously designed and built Brahmaputra Class Guided Missile Frigates.

The ship is a reincarnation of the earlier INS Beas, a Leopard Class Frigate purchased from the UK in 1960, and is built for extended `Blue Water' naval operations and is capable of covering over 4500 nautical miles without any replenishment. It has the capabilities of sensing the long-range with radors, sonars and electronic warfare equipment, which enables it to simultaneously address targets operating in all the three mediums, the surface, underwater and air.
