Kalinigrad.ru reports that India’s brand new stealth frigate INS Tarkash hit a mooring wall while departing the quay recently at the Yantar shipyard where it was built. The report quotes Yantar officials as saying that the ship did not suffer serious damage, and has continued its journey.
the great russian ports… tug service… at service…
What if India gets a crashed frigate? Nothing, it just proved how fit it is.. 😉
I smell vodka.
So would it be safe to assume that Russians will offer a "Scratch and Dent" discount, like my local appliance store does here in the US? 🙂
Should have waited until the rush hour was over to leave port.

This is old news from Ru. The ship visited Portsmouth last week and is probably in the Med by now
never in the history of russia/cccp… any indian design naval vessel has entered service… on other hand… INS was always depended on the great russian/cccp design… well in the future they won't climb down… and change history…
Facepalm. Can't Russian shipyard do anything right? I look forward to the day when India can build ships without those fools.

The Mooring Wall must have been broken.
great Russian ports and even greater Indian crew
Why are INS ships in the news lately for such incidents. First it was a boat ramming into Aircraft Carrier Virat at Cochin port, then INS Sindhyagiri (now decommissioned because the damaged caused by the incident at Bombay harbor),followed by collision of 2 kilo class submarines (INS Sindhuratna & INS Sindhukesari at Bombay harbor, now INS Tarkash in russia. What the fish is going on with the man behind the wheel?
seems talwar class frigates have tendency to get involved in accidents
The COs career is over. Look for a civil job.
