INS Abhay (P33) ("Fearless")[1] was the lead ship of her class of anti-submarine warfare corvettes, which were in service with the Indian Navy.
Abhay is Sanskrit for fearless. The ship was commissioned on 10 March 1989[2] at Poti, Georgia in the erstwhile USSR.[3]
INS Abhay, as per earlier confirmation,[4] was decommissioned on 6 October 2025 during sunset along with INFAC T-82, a Template:Sclass. This marked the end of active service of the Abhay class of ships with the Indian Navy. Vice Admiral Krishna Swaminathan, the Flag Officer Commanding-in-Chief Western Naval Command (FOCINC WNC), was the chief guest of the ceremony, hosted at the Naval Dockyard (Mumbai), while attendees included the commissioning crew of the vessels, former Commanding Officers and senior dignitaries.[3][5][6]
