The Indian Navy recently inducted a new high-speed offshore patrol vessel. [...] The 320-ton Tarmugli is the first out of four improved Car Nicobar-class high-speed offshore patrol vessels—dubbed Water Jet Fast Attack Craft (WJFAC) by the IN–ordered under a March 2013 contract awarded to Kolkata-based shipbuilder Garden Reach Shipbuilders & Engineers (GRSE). Construction of the vessel began in July 2013. The craft was launched in June 2015, along with two other ships of the class. [...]
The ships of the Car Nicobar-class, named after an island in the Andaman group, are the first water-jet propelled vessels in the Indian Navy. So far the Indian Navy is operating 11 vessels of the class and is expecting to commission three more ships in the near future.
