Ajay-class patrol vessel

The Ajay-class patrol vessels were built by Garden Reach Shipbuilders & Engineers in the 1960s. The lead vessel, INS Ajay was the first warship built in Independent India.[1][2][3] They were sometimes viewed as a variant of the Ford-class seaward defence boats.[4] Two were transferred to the Bangladesh Navy and one to Mauritius; later versions could have different armament
