The ship ‘Surat’ is the fourth and final stealth destroyer in the ‘Project 15B’ programme, while the second ship, ‘Udaygiri,’ is a frigate in the ‘Project 17A’ programme.

The term “launch” refers to the first time a ship enters water.

“The nation will witness a landmark event in the history of indigenous warship building when two frontline warships of Indian Navy will be launched concurrently at Mazgaon Docks Limited in Mumbai on May 17,” said an Indian Navy official.

The Project 15B class of ships is the next generation stealth guided missile destroyers of the Indian Navy being built at the Mazgaon Docks Ltd in Mumbai.
