INS Kamorta, India's first indigenously built stealth warship commissioned into Indian Navy

India’s first indigenously-built stealth Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW) INS Kamorta was commissioned in Indian Navy by Union Defence Minister Arun Jaitley on 23 August 2014. It was commissioned at naval dockyard in Vishakhapatnam.
 
INS Kamrota is India’s first vessel in the navy whose all weapon systems are manufactured indigenously.

INS Kamrota was handed over to Indian Navy by Garden Reach Shipbuilders & Engineers Ltd. (GRSE) on 12 July 2014. The super-sophisticated frontline warship was formally handed over to the Commanding Officer of the ship Cdr. Manoj Jha by GRSE Chairman and Managing Director, Rear Admiral (Retd) AK Verma, VSM.
