Under the Project 15B, MDL will build a total of four destroyers. Other deliveries are scheduled between 2020-2024, said an official. Under the Project 15B, MDL will build a total of four destroyers, the first of which was Visakhapatnam, launched on April 20, 2015, followed by Mormugao. The Project 15B missile destroyers are modern warships equipped with the latest weapons package in continuation of the lineage of the highly successful Delhi and Kolkata Class ships. The Guided Missile Destroyer ship of Project 15B was launched by chief guest Reena Lanba, wife of Admiral Sunil Lanba, the Chief of Naval Staff. Named ‘Mormugao’, the hull of the 7,300-tonne, 163.2 metres long guided missile destroyer, which was constructed on dry area, floated on water for the first time - which is a milestone event for any vessel. Loud cheers and thunderous claps marked the launch as the warship smoothly slid into the Arabian Sea waters for the first time. The momentous event was attended by a large number of naval officers, sailors and MDL staff and workers.
