The 6,700-tonne guided-missile destroyer INS Delhi is India's first "Stealth Warship".

The destroyer is fitted with sophisticated anti-ship, anti-aircraft and anti-submarine sensor and weapon system.
With its heavy weapon load and multiple anti-ship, submarine and surface warfare roles, the missile packed ship is touted as the most powerful warships in Asia after the 9,500-tonne Japanese class Aegis destroyer. INS Delhi is the first Indian warship to be fitted with air and surface search radar.

The choppers, equipped with super searcher radars, are capable of flying four and half hours non-stop. They are capable of both anti-submarine as well as anti-surface operations and can take off from the vessel within five to ten minutes, he added. All the three vessels have a total thousand crew.
