Final touches were being given to the ship before its launch by the President on August 17, as scores of workers busied themselves with various engineering and paint jobs at the GRSE's main unit on the banks of River Hooghly

Huge cranes were at work delivering material to the deck of the ship, while some items were being unloaded from it, with senior engineers supervising the final construction activities in the warship in-making

Following its launch, the ship will undergo fitting out of various components, including armaments. Extensive trials will be held of the ship before it is handed over to the Navy

The ship, being painted in ash, black and red colour, has been designed in-house by the Indian Navy's warship design bureau, as are the other P17A stealth frigates
