Naval warship INS Kochi commissioned by Defense Minister Manohar Parrikar at Naval Dockyard in Mumbai, India on September 30, 2015. Kochi is the second ship of the indigenously designed and constructed Project 15A (Kolkata-class) guided missile destroyer, built by Mazagon Dock Shipbuilders. INS Kochi incorporates new design concepts for stealth and has many firsts to her credit, including a very large component of indigenous combat-suite. The ship is packed with the most sophisticated state-of-the-art weapons and sensors including the vertically launched Long Range Surface to Air Missiles (LRSAM) and MF-STAR multi-function active phased array radar, which is fitted only on the Kolkata class of ships. She is equipped with the advanced supersonic and long range BrahMos Surface to Surface Missile - a joint Indo-Russian venture. The 76 mm Super Rapid Gun Mount (SRGM) and AK 630 CIWS, both manufactured indigenously, can take on air and surface. SOLARIS IMAGES
