INS Teg (F45) is the fourth Talwar-class frigate constructed for the Indian Navy. She was built by the Yantar shipyard in Kaliningrad, Russia, [4] and was commissioned to Navy service on 27 April 2012. [5] She is the first of the second batch of Talwar-class frigates to be completed.

Design

Teg belongs to the Talwar class of frigates. The Talwar-class guided missile frigates are modified Krivak III-class frigates built by Russia. These ships use stealth technologies and a special hull design to ensure a reduced radar cross section. Much of the equipment on the ship is Russian-made, but a significant number of systems of Indian origin have also been incorporated. The main differences between Teg and the earlier Talwar-class ships are the use of BrahMos missiles in place of the Klub-N missiles and the use of AK-630 instead of Kashtan in the earlier ships. [6] It is the first of the three frigates built in Russia as a follow-up order to the first batch of Talwar-class frigates.

Construction

Teg was laid down on 27 July 2007 [4] and launched on 27 November 2009. [6] Following post-construction work, she began sea trials in the Baltic Sea on 1 September 2011. [7] During Teg's sea trials in mid-October, her port-side turbine was damaged, forcing a two-week delay in her trials schedule while repairs were made. [4] Teg completed her sea trials in early December 2011, leaving only acceptance trials before her delivery to the Indian Navy in April 2012. [8] These trials were completed in early February 2012. [9]

INS Teg was commissioned into the Indian Navy on 27 April 2012, at the Yantar shipyard at Kaliningrad in Russia. [5] She was commissioned by Vice Admiral KN Sushil, Flag Officer Commanding-in-Chief, Southern Naval Command with Captain Rakesh Kumar Dahiya serving as her first commanding officer. [2]
