Frigate INS Trikand being built for Indian Navy by Yantar shipyard (JSC United Shipbuilding Corporation) was moved to pre-launching position on Nov 24.

INS Trikand (stands for "bow") is the last ship in the series of three Project 11356 frigates which are built by Yantar shipyard since 2006. First two – INS Teg ("sword") and INS Tarkash ("quiver") have been already launched and are prepared for trials.

Before moving to pre-launching position, the third frigate was armed with BrahMos missile launcher, and equipped with propulsion shafts, screws, and nose fairing with sonar system.

INS Trikand has occupied pre-launching position – that is just the place where the ship will be launched from in March 2011 in accordance with the construction schedule.

Baltic shipyard Yantar was established on July 8, 1945 on the facilities of German yard F. Schichau. The shipyard specializes in small- and medium-size warships and civil vessels, as well as conducting ship repair works. Through 65-year history, the yard has built 154 warships and over 500 civil vessels. Currently, major shareholder of JSC Yantar is governmental company JSC United Shipbuilding Corporation.
