- Frigates, which are naval vessels intermediate between corvettes and destroyers, have had a significant role in the naval history of India. Although the Maratha Navy, the naval branch of the armed forces of the Maratha Empire, used Grabs and Gallivats to project naval power, the concept of frigates (formerly called sloops) was introduced by the British. HMIS Clive, HMIS Lawrence and HMIS Cornwallis, of the Aubrietia class, were some of the early sloops commissioned into the Royal Indian Navy (RIN) during the 1920s. These ships later served in the Second World War. Later, in the 1930s, sloops of the P, Anchusa, Hastings, Grimsby, and Black Swan classes were commissioned. The RIN was expanded significantly during the Second World War. The sloops HMIS Sutlej and HMIS Jumna, of the Black Swan class, took part in Operation Husky, the Allied invasion of Sicily. In 1945, HMIS Dhanush and HMIS Shamsher, of the River class, were the first frigates, so-called, to be commissioned. Several frigates of the River class were also commissioned. Some of them were later transferred to Pakistan during partition. In the post-war period, the Indian Navy operated frigates from the Blackwood, Whitby, Leopard, Leander, and Nilgiri classes. The Nilgiri-class frigates were the first major warships to be built in India, in association with Yarrow Shipbuilders of the United Kingdom. Later in the 2000s, the Indian Navy, collaborating with Russia for the first time, acquired six under Project 1135.6, designated as Talwar-class. As of May 2022, 12 guided-missile frigates from three different classes – Shivalik, Talwar, and Brahmaputra – are operated by the Indian Navy. (en)
