Union Defence Minister Rajnath Singh has launched the second P17A stealth frigate ‘Dunagiri’ into the Hooghly River in Kolkata.
The Project 17A frigate is built by Garden Reach Shipbuilders Limited (GRSE).
Kala Hari Kumar, President, Navy Wives Welfare Association (NWWA) performed the traditional honours and named the ship Dunagiri.
Christened after a mountain range in the state of Uttarakhand, ‘Dunagiri’ is the fourth ship of P17A frigates. These are a follow-on of the P17 Frigates (Shivalik Class) with improved stealth features, advanced weapons and sensors and platform management systems.
The first two ships of the P17A Project were launched in 2019 and 2020 at MDL and GRSE respectively. The third ship (Udaygiri) was launched at MDL on 17 May 22 earlier this year.
