INS Brahmaputra (F31) is a frigate of Indian Navy. She is one of the recently inducted, indigenously built guided missile frigates fitted with a modern missile systems. She and two of her sister ships INS Beas and INS Betwa were built at the Garden Reach Shipbuilders and Engineers (GRSE), Kolkatta.
The design and construction of the ship is entirely Indian, and is a modification of the Godavari class of frigates [1]. It is fitted with an array of modern sensor suites and matching weapon systems that allows her to take on any threat. Commissioned on 14 Apr 2000 and presently commanded by Captain Kapil Gupta, this 3600 tonne ship is 125 meters long and can easily do speeds up to 30 knots. She operates the Seaking helicopter and the MATCH (Multi Role Anti Submarine Torpedo Carrying Helicopter) helicopter, which is an ASW variant of the Chetak helicopter.
The Brahmaputra embodies the indomitable spirit of the river Brahamaputra [2] in north-eastern India and the one-horned rhino that lives in the Brahamaputra valley.
