Design
<templatestyles src="Module:Hatnote/styles.css"></templatestyles>
Teg belongs to the Talwar class of frigates. The Talwar class guided missile frigates are modified Krivak III class frigates built by Russia. These ships use stealth technologies and a special hull design to ensure a reduced radar cross section. Much of the equipment on the ship is Russian-made, but a significant number of systems of Indian origin have also been incorporated. The main difference between Teg and the earlier Talwar-class ships is the use of BrahMos missiles in place of the Klub-N missiles in the earlier ships.[5] It is the first of the three frigates built in Russia as a follow-up order to the first batch of Talwar-class frigates.
Construction
Teg was laid down on 27 July 2007,[3] and launched on 27 November 2009.[5] Following post-construction work, she began sea trials in the Baltic Sea on 1 September 2011.[6] During Teg's sea trials in mid-October, her port-side turbine was damaged, forcing a two-week delay in her trials schedule while repairs were made.[3] Teg completed her sea trials in early December 2011, leaving only acceptance trials before her delivery to the Indian Navy in April 2012.[7] These trials were completed in early February 2012.[8]
INS Teg was commissioned into the Indian Navy on 27 April 2012, at the Yantar shipyard at Kaliningrad in Russia.[4] She was commissioned by Vice Admiral KN Sushil, Flag Officer Commanding-in-Chief, Southern Naval Command with Captain Rakesh Kumar Dahiya serving as her first commanding officer.[2]
