The '''ABG class''' of cadet [[training ship]]s is a series of three vessels being built by the [[ABG Shipyard]] in [[Gujarat]] for the [[Indian Navy]].<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://www.thehindu.com/news/cities/Kochi/new-cadet-training-vessel-to-give-a-fillip-to-navy-vice-admiral-lanba/article7178986.ece|title=New cadet training vessel to give a fillip to Navy: Vice Admiral Lanba|date=2015-05-07|newspaper=The Hindu|language=en-IN|issn=0971-751X|access-date=2016-05-03}}</ref>

==Description==
The proposed {{convert|110|m|ft|adj=mid|-long}} cadet training ships will have [[Displacement (ship)|displacement]] of 4,000 tonnes each and will feature high-efficiency controllable-pitch [[propeller]]s (CPP) powered by two [[diesel engine]]s through a twin shaft. They will also have capability to carry light helicopters. ABG Shipyard have engaged Axsys Technologies Limited for a complete design including both basic and detailed for the ship.

==Orders==
The ABG shipyard received the first order for two ships from the [[Ministry of Defence (India)|Ministry of Defence]] in June 2011 valued at Rs 9.7 billion (US$213.58 million), which stipulates the delivery of the first ship in 42 months and the second, six months later. Thereafter the cutting of steel for the first of the two naval cadet training ships contracted took place in the first week of February 2012.<ref>[http://www.thehindu.com/todays-paper/tp-national/article2810053.ece Steel to be cut for naval cadet training vessel], 18 January 2012</ref><ref>{{Cite news|url=https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/markets/stocks/news/promoters-of-troubled-abg-shipyard-approach-mahindra-group-adani-to-sell-stake/articleshow/46362588.cms|title=Promoters of troubled ABG Shipyard approach Mahindra Group, Adani to sell stake|newspaper=The Economic Times|date=25 February 2015|first1=Arijit|last1=Barman|first2=Baiju|last2=Kalesh|access-date=6 July 2019}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=http://indianexpress.com/article/india/india-others/abg-shipyard-suspends-operation-at-dahej-yard-after-contractors-agitation-over-due-payment/|title=ABG Shipyard suspends operation at Dahej yard after contractors’ agitation over due payment|date=2015-05-27|website=The Indian Express|access-date=2016-05-03}}</ref> The ships are meant to replace the ageing {{INS|Tir|A86|6}}, the lead ship of the [[Southern Naval Command]]-based First Training Squadron, and the soon-to-be decommissioned {{INS|Krishna}}.
