Thanks man for showing Indian navy...👏👏👏 kids seem to be very happy to see this ship 😆😆😆

[@ThamesShips]

Thanks for watching! Yes - a number of people came to see it pass through Tower Bridge.

[@elizabethg5044]

Fantastic camera work. Pleasure to watch tugs working😊

[@ThamesShips]

Thanks - yes it was good to see the tugs. VB Peter and VB Benelux are currently scheduled to assist it when it departs.

8:28 , Indian Navy "octogonal" Flag - called "Nishan" (lit. Marking) in the foreground with Royal Navy's Cross in the background. HOW Symbolic !!

[@ThamesShips]

Thanks for the information!

[@peterasp1968]

While the literal meaning of Nishan is "mark" in this case it is more suitably translated as "ensign" because that is what it is in usage. The octagon on the field is the seal of Shivaji who built up a decent coastal navy in the 1670s and which under the Angre family gave the British a tough time till the 1750s.

[@KarmHeeDharmHai]

What is the purpose if an INS vessel on the Thames?

[@ThamesShips]

According to the Deccan Herald, “A series of professional interactions between the Indian Navy and Royal Navy are planned during the four days of INS Tabar's stay at the London port. The crew of INS Tabar would also offer community service to the retired pensioners of the Royal Army at Old Age Home."

[@tommarshall1660]

The engines are a bit "smoky" Russian by any chance?

[@ThamesShips]

Correct. According to Wikipedia, "The main engines of INS Tabar are the Zorya/Mashproekt M7N-1E gas turbine plant comprising two DS-71 cruise turbines (each rated up to 9,000 hp) and two DT-59 boost turbines."

[@upendranathtiwari6257]

If boat is pulling it , then from where smoke is coming out .

[@ThamesShips]

The tug boat pulling it is only helping it to manoeuvre since the river is not very wide. The tugs will also be used to push it into its mooring place. The engines of INS Tabar are still running so that is where the smoke is coming from.

[@alidavandenbergh-binnenvaart]

The background is so beautiful and impressive. A lot of smoke comes out of that ship.

[@ThamesShips]

Yes - with all that smoke I am glad I was not filming on Tower Bridge as it was sailing under.

[@parthajitjana2222]

Its a russian engine.all new Indian navy ships have mainly ge engines or ukrainian engine. Rolls royce will have chance with next gen warships built in India.

It's "TALAWAR"😅

[@ThamesShips]

Sorry! I obtained the information from the Wikipedia website and it said "Talwar". Apologies if this is incorrect.

[@CyrusInIndia]

This warship is INS Tabar which is a Talwar Class Frigate. In all there are 10 ships in this particular Frigate Class. INS Talwar was the first ship of this class. 6 are currently commissioned and INS Tabar is the 3rd ship in this class. This class has been operational between 2003 and 2013, so far . Two more ships of the class are being outfitted and should be commissioned by around 2025 and 2 more are in construction at Goa Shipyard, India which will be commissioned by 2027 making it a total of 10 ships in the Talwar Class Frigates.

Actually its Talwaar.

[@ThamesShips]

Thanks for the information. 👍

[@EnglishScripter]

Equipment on it looks old.

[@dhrubamaitra7545]

The only thing which can be considered old/obsolete on this ship is the 3S90 single arm missile launcher.

[@EnglishScripter]

@@dhrubamaitra7545 It's fire control radar is about 40 years old, it still uses rail system for anti air defence, depth charges for anti submarine warfare, and it's datalink can guid about a 3rd the amount of missiles, and a modern system can.

[@dhrubamaitra7545]

@@EnglishScripter what? you are grossly misinformed. MR-90 Orekha is literally equivalent to AN/SPG 62 of US both are illuminators for SRH missiles Shtil-1 and SM-2. Initial firing solution on Talwar class is achieved by the primary Fregat 760 M2EM radar which can track dozens of targets Sea/Air. For ASW it uses 533mm Type 53-65 Torpedos which will be replaced by Indian Varunastra torpedo ALONG with RBU 6000 depth charges. And I already mentioned the obsolete 3S90 Single Arm launcher(Rail System).

Nice jib!

👍👍

[@ShipsandShipping]

​​@@ThamesShipsWish I could type! 😮

[@ThamesShips]

@@ShipsandShipping No worries! I did wonder as "jib" is obviously a nautical related term as well (though maybe not for frigates!) 😃😃

[@ThamesShips]

@@ShipsandShipping Quick question please. Do you know why it would have red and green flags at the back? I think it has something to do with navigation lights since the red flag is on the port side and green is on the starboard but don't know the reason. I remember also seeing this on the Brazilian navy training ship NE BRASIL but don't know why these ships specifically would require them.

[@ShipsandShipping]

@@ThamesShips No idea really! But I've seen them, and they look a bit temporary, so could they be a reminder/training aid for a batch of newly joined seamen?

[@Frederick-in2rz]

Dunno, but when i was a matelot, No Captain would use a tug to get to berth anyway.

[@ThamesShips]

Thanks for watching. I think that the tugs may also be for security reasons in case the frigate has an engine failure whilst near to Tower Bridge. That part of the river is obviously busy and any collision would have an impact on both river traffic and road traffic passing over the bridge.

[@neilbaldwin592]

Was just thinking the same thing. Ships were expected to be able to get in and out of harbour under their own power, and would only have a tug in exceptional circumstances. Probably health and safety demanded it.

[@ThamesShips]

@@neilbaldwin592 Yes - I expect that it is a Port of London Authority requirement.

[@neilbaldwin592]

I was a little surprised that they didn’t man the sides entering a foreign port. Another tradition that seems to have gone.

[@ThamesShips]

@@neilbaldwin592 Yes - I can't seem to remember ever seeing this on the Thames.

[@Joker-yw9hl]

I was walking along the Thames today and people were shocked to see the amount of smoke coming from this ship as it sat in port. People thought there was a fire. There was even disruption to naval traffic because of it. Very strange. Indian navy shouldn't go near Russian engines again

[@ThamesShips]

I too saw the boat departing at Tower Bridge. I agree the engines were very smoky but the people realised it was coming from the engines rather than a fire. Do you know what naval traffic was disrupted since I thought it it was only the Indian navy ship that was sailing on the Thames today? It would be interesting to know what other navy ships were sailing.

[@Joker-yw9hl]

@ThamesShips by naval traffic I meant boats in the Thames, like the tourist boats, Uber boats and whatnot. I first noticed the smoke on the millennium bridge and then took a boat to the tower of London, where not long after we also saw it depart! While on the boat our travel was delayed for about 10 minutes, supposedly due to the Indian vessel. Everyone speculated it was due to the smoking vessel but maybe not

[@ThamesShips]

@@Joker-yw9hl Sorry - I misunderstood. When larger ships (such as navy ships) pass under Tower Bridge, it is common for the other boats (such as the tourist boats) to be delayed slightly to allow the larger vessels to manoeuvre. The same thing happened on Friday when the INS Tabar arrived. I agree with you over the engines. They were definitely very smoky.

[@extremethinker9140]

This ship doesn't have Russian engines, it's Ukraine's engine.
