Car Nicobar

Marine
The last of ten Car Nicobar-class OPVs entered service with the Indian Navy in August 2011. The primary purpose of the vessels is to protect India’s EEZ and immediate maritime border, and they have been heavily involved in anti-piracy operations. The first two ships launched were forced to operate at reduced speeds, but an improved gearbox was fitted to these vessels and all others afterwards to achieve the planned maximum speed of more than
35kt.
