More about the news:

• The crest design depicts the Kangla Palace on the left and ‘Kangla-Sa’ on the right. The Kangla Palace is an important historical and archaeological site of Manipur, and was the traditional seat of the past kingdom.

• A guided missile destroyer with a displacement of 7,400 tons and overall length of 164 meters, Imphalis a potent and versatile platform equipped with state-of-the-art weapons and sensors, including surface-to-air missiles, anti-ship missiles and torpedoes. Powered by Combined Gas and Gas (COGAG) propulsion, she is capable of achieving speeds in excess of 30 knots (56 km/hr).
• As part of the pre-commissioning trials, the ship recently carried out successful firing of an Extended Range BrahMos missile.
• The time taken to build Imphaland for her trials is the shortest for any indigenous destroyer. The delivery of the ship is an affirmation of the impetus towards ‘Aatmanirbhar Bharat’.
