India, as the most powerful country on the South Asian continent, is geographically located, is located in the east, and Bay of Bengal to the west, and has a coastline of 15,560 kilometers long. Due to the influence of its own national expansionism, relations with neighboring countries are very tense. Therefore, India needs a powerful navy that can check and balance neighboring countries to maintain its delusional Indian Ocean maritime hegemony.

Camorta-class origin

In terms of offshore patrol, India designed four thousand-ton Kola-class light frigates in the 290s of the last century. Kola-class is a fierce ship capable of carrying 16 Uranus anti-ship missiles, but it is very weak in anti-submarine combat capability. Since the underwater submarine force of the Pakistan Navy in the north still retains the advanced legal Agosta 70 and the more advanced Agosta 90B submarine to be introduced, the Indian Navy's anti-submarine pressure has increased sharply, and has begun a project called Project The development of the new generation of small and medium-sized anti-submarine frigates of 28 is the protagonist of today, the Indian Ocean anti-submarine pioneer, and the Camorta-class frigate . This class of ships is defined as a light multi-purpose frigate that uses anti-submarine operations as the main part-time offshore patrol and escort.

Camorta-class features

India has a strong domestic heart in the manufacturing of warship . Before the Camorta class, India had had too many large-scale frigates construction experience, including the 4,000-ton Godavari-class frigate and Brahmaputra-class frigate . In the design and construction of Camorta class, India hopes to have a higher domestic proportion, and it also means that the Camorta class will also perform a legendary experience of polishing a ship for many years.

In terms of hull design, the Camorta-class embosses stealth design, which can be said to be a representative work of India's domestic stealth ships. It adopts the stealth hull design technology transferred by European countries . The outer surface is designed to be relatively smooth to reduce the reflection area of ​​ radar . It also uses radar wave absorbing composite materials. In terms of infrared stealth design, it uses infrared suppression technology provided by Canadian company. However, in the superstructure, there is still a "chaotic" layout of Russian ship radar and antennas. Compared with the world's mainstream advanced frigate in stealth.

works in power, the Camorta class adopts the diesel-Chai-Chai joint propulsion method, the full power system is composed of 4 French Pierstick 12PA6STC diesel engines. With the help of French low-noise mechanical equipment, the ship has a better self-noise level, which can meet the needs of anti-submarine combat. The maximum speed can reach 32 knots, and at 12 knots of economic speed, the range is as high as 7,400 nautical miles, which can support ocean-going combat.
