INS ''Gomati'' was the first Indian Navy vessel to have digital electronics in her combat data system. The ships combine Indian, Russian and Western weapons systems. ==History== The concept for the ''Godavari'' class originated from the lessons learnt in the Indo-Pakistan War of 1971. There was a need for a ship unique to Indian requirements, for deploying a hybrid of indigenously-designed, as well as Russian and European weapons systems. One of the requirements was to deploy two Sea King helicopters from the ship. The ''Nilgiri''-class vessels were too small for this requirement. The final design incorporated a larger hull in order to accommodate this. INS ''Godavari'' will be decommissioned and her Barak 1 surface-to-air missile will be installed on the flagship . 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Godavari-class frigate」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
