<h5>What is Taragiri?</h5>  <p>‘Taragiri’ is the name of a stealth frigate that was launched on 11th September 2022. This frigate has been developed by Mazagon Dock Shipbuilders Ltd. (MDL). Taragiri has been built as part of Project 17A (we will read more about this in a bit). This ship is scheduled to be delivered to the Indian Navy in August 2025.
This ship was built using a method where the hull blocks were constructed in several geographical areas. Then they were assembled on the slipway at MDL. The ship has an estimated launch weight of 3510 tonnes (35,10,000 kilograms). The ship is 149-metre-long and 17.8-metre-wide.
It has been designed by the Indian Navy’s Bureau of Naval Design. The detailed design and construction have been undertaken by MDL and have also been overseen by the Warship Overseeing Team (Mumbai).</p> <h5>Can you tell me more about the equipment on Taragiri?</h5> <figure>

      </figure> <p>The ship will be propelled using two gas turbines and two diesel engines and will be able to reach a speed of over 28 knots. The stealth frigate will also be equipped with state-of-the-art weapons, sensors, an action information system, a platform management system, living spaces, a power distribution system, etc. 
It will also be equipped with a supersonic surface-to-surface missile system. The ship will also have two 30 mm rapid-fire guns and a super rapid gun mount (SRGM) for naval gunfire support. Additionally, torpedo launchers and rocket launchers will increase the ship's anti-submarine capacity. It will have defences that will help counter enemy aircraft.
Sounds like it’s right out of an action movie, doesn’t it?
</p> <h5>So, what is Project 17A?</h5>  <p>The Indian Navy launched Project 17 Alpha Frigates (P-17A) in 2019. The Indian defence forces launched this project to build stealth guided-missile frigates. These military ships are being built using designs that can make them undetectable to enemies!</p>
<p>
The entire cost of Project 17A is estimated to be about Rs 25,700 crores. INS Nilgiri is the first stealth ship launched under Project 17A in 2019. It is scheduled to be commissioned in 2022. The second ship is named Udaygiri and was launched in May 2022. It is expected to be commissioned in 2024.
</p> <h5>How important is Project 17A to India?</h5>  <p>Project 17A is pretty important for the country since it is dedicated to creating more stealth frigates for the Indian Navy. The Indian Navy is tasked with protecting the Indian Ocean Region and stealth frigates can help the Navy in doing so.</p>
<p>Stealth frigates also help the country against neighbouring nations such as Pakistan and China (we’re not exactly friendly with them). With a strong Navy, our country can maintain peace and protect itself from any possible attacks.
So, what do you think about Taragiri? Will it help the Indian Navy in defending our country?</p>
