Saab's Role Behind INS Kavaratti
Saab's composite superstructure is a low-weight, non-corroding, strong alternative to steel or aluminium. India's ASW Corvette has been built by this composite superstructure.

I wonder why this same technology can't be applied to the MCMV .Saab's Role Behind INS Kavaratti

@Amal @randomradio,
Help identifying these two at csl
About 350ft in length. Are these kamorta's?
Also on google maps there is something 480'sh feet in GRSE
what might that be?

Not Kamortas, that's for sure.
The Ship on the left: Sukanya class patrol vessel (not sure). The other one is probably ICG's Samar class OPV.
What Amal said. Sukanya class (unique chimney) and Samar class (large second island and the big eff-off gun cupola, Vikram has a smaller second island).
Nilgiri class.
Get a proper canon for smaller ships. Maybe a modern Bofors 40/57mm one. Will allow the ships more flexibility and keep the capabilities contemporary.
I don't know if it's been discussed already, but there's an RFI for leasing 3-4 Minesweeper vessels too. Should have hull mounted sonar, side scan sonar , an unmanned underwater vessel, etc. Armaments will be provided by IN.
ROYAL NAVY is a good contender along with the Germans

From the MoU signed between MoD & GRSE for the last FY.
a. ln-house Hull form Development of Next Generation Corvette Hull form and CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) validation.
b. Plume Trajectory Analysis Engine Exhaust for Anti Submarine Warfare Shallow Water Craft (ASW-SWC)
c. Design & Development of the optimal layout of various antennas to minimise EMV EMC interference for ASW SWC Platform.
d. Completion of Basic Design of stealth Anti Submarine Slrallow water Platform
Looks like end-to-end ship design capabilities are being developed in the yards. They are developing even hull-forms for projects as significant as the NGC (which is essentially a light frigate). This will allow the DND can concentrate on more serious matters.
No idea what item d is, though. Definitely not the ASW-SWC.

Mazagon dock is also undertaking some design works for corvettes.
INS Kozhikode (M71) from 2016. She was the last minesweeper of the IN until she was retired in 2019.
