You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 54.234.0.0/16 has been blocked by ‪JJMC89‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~}}. You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 05:36, 2 January 2025. Your current IP address is 54.234.237.148.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

==Decommissioned ships==
Most of the decommissioned frigates or sloops of the Indian Navy originated in the [[United Kingdom]].

===Sloops===
A modern British '''[[sloop-of-war]]''' is a warship used for convoy defence. {{HMIS|Clive|L79|6}},{{HMIS|Lawrence|L83|6}} of the {{sclass|Aubrietia|sloop|4}}, were some of the early sloops commissioned into the RIN during the 1920s. These ships were also the first ships to be decommissioned. Later, sloops from the {{sclass|Black Swan|sloop|5}}, {{sclass|Grimsby|sloop|5}}, {{sclass2|P|sloop|5}}, {{sclass|Hastings|sloop|5}}, and {{sclass|Anchusa|sloop|5}} classes were commissioned. The sloops {{HMIS|Narbada|U40|6}}  and {{HMIS|Godavari|U52|6}},{{citation needed|date=July 2019}} of the ''Black Swan'' class, and {{HMIS|Hindustan|U80|6}}, of the ''Hastings'' class, were transferred to Pakistan post-partition. HMIS ''Elphinstone'', of the ''Anchusa'' class, and {{HMIS|Indus|U67|6}},{{Cn|date=September 2022}} of the ''Grimsby'' class, were lost in action during the [[Second World War]]. The other sloops were subsequently scrapped after their decommissioning.<ref name="Ref-1"/>

===={{sclass|Anchusa|sloop|4}}====

The twenty-eight '''''Anchusa''-class sloops''' were a small class of [[corvette]]s or convoy sloops built in 1917 and 1918 under the Emergency War Programme for the [[Royal Navy]] in the First World War, as the final part of the larger "Flower class" (which were also referred to as the "cabbage class", or "herbaceous borders"). The sloops were single-screw with triple hulls at the bows to give extra protection against loss when working as fleet sweeping vessels, or as convoy protection ships (the class was built to look like merchant ships for use as [[Q-ship]]s). HMS ''Ceanothus'' (1917) (later renamed as HMS ''Elphinstone''), transferred to the Royal Indian Marine in 1922, was the only ''Anchusa''-class sloop used by India.

===={{sclass|Aubrietia|sloop|4}}====

The '''''Aubrietia'' class''' was a class of twelve sloops built under the Emergency War Programme for the Royal Navy in the First World War as part of the larger [[Flower-class sloop|"Flower" class]]. The Flowers were the first ships designed as [[minesweeper]]s. Like all the Flowers, the ''Aubrietia'' class were originally designed as single-screw fleet sweeping vessels, with triple hulls at the bows and an above-water magazine located aft, to give extra protection against loss from [[naval mine|mine damage]] when working. However, the greatest utility was to be as a [[convoy]] escort; and, as such, other classes took over the minesweeping role. The ''Aubrietia''s were re-classified as convoy sloops. HMIS ''Cornwallis'' of this class was used by the RIN from 1921 to 1946, when it was decommissioned.

===={{sclass2|P|sloop|4}}====

The '''P class''', nominally classified as "patrol boats", was in effect a [[ship class|class]] of coastal sloops. Twenty-four ships to this design were ordered in May 1915 (numbered ''P.11'' to ''P.34''), and another thirty between February and June 1916 (numbered ''P.35'' to ''P.64''), under the Emergency War Programme<ref name="P boats of the First World War">{{cite web|title=P boats of the First World War|url=http://www.twmuseums.org.uk/engage/blog/p-boats-of-the-first-world-war-william-bartram-and-p23|website=TW Museums|date=18 April 2013 |access-date=23 August 2016}}</ref> for the Royal Navy in the [[World War I|First World War]]. In December 1916, ten of the latter group were altered on the stocks before launch for use as decoy Q-ships and were renumbered as '''PC-class sloops'''. Although usually not named, in 1925 ''P.38'' was given the name ''Spey'', as well as HMIS ''Baluchi'' and HMIS ''Pathan'', the two P-class sloops used by the RIN.

The '''Type 14 ''Blackwood''''' was a ship class of minimal "second-rate" [[anti-submarine warfare]] frigates.  Built for the Royal Navy, to supplement the Type 12 class, during the 1950s at a time of increasing threat from the [[Soviet Union]]'s submarine fleet, they served until the late 1970s.  Twelve ships of this class served with the Royal Navy and a further three were built for the Indian Navy.{{Sfn|Friedman|2008|p=14}}

===={{sclass|Whitby|frigate|4}}====
The '''Type 12''' or '''''Whitby'' class''' was a six-ship class of anti-submarine frigates of the British Royal Navy, which entered service late in the 1950s. They were designed in the early 1950s as first-rate ocean-going convoy escorts, in the light of experience gained during the [[World War II|Second World War]]. At the time, the Royal Navy were designing single-role escorts and the ''Whitby''s were designed as fast convoy escorts capable of tackling high-speed submarines. However, this made the ''Whitby''s more sophisticated and expensive to produce in large numbers in the event of a major war. Although themselves rapidly outdated, the Type 12 proved to be an excellent basis for a series of frigate designs used by the British and Commonwealth navies for the next 20 years.{{Sfn|Friedman|2008|pp=214–216}} Two ships from this class served in the Indian Navy.{{Sfn|Singh|1992|p=85}}

===[[Talwar-class frigate|Talwar-class]]===

The '''Talwar-class''' is a variant of the Russian-built [[Admiral Grigorovich-class frigate|''Admiral Grigorovich'' class]] frigate in service with the Indian Navy. Six of this class were planned for service with the [[Russian Navy]], with the engines to be supplied by the Ukrainian government-owned firm [[Zorya-Mashproekt]]. Of the first batch of three frigates, two vessels are in service with Russia {{As of|2017|February|lc=y}}, with the last to be commissioned in 2016. The [[annexation of Crimea by the Russian Federation]] halted any further cooperation between the Russian and Ukrainian governments, leaving the second batch of three ships without engines. In August 2016, Russia agreed to sell the second batch of frigates to India. India will likely be able to acquire Ukrainian-built engines on its own. The frigates remain under construction, and it is possible the hulls could be transported to India for their final fitting-out, including the installation of their engines.<ref name= "Admiral Grigorovich">{{Cite news|title =India to acquire three Admiral Grigorovich-class frigates from Russia|url=http://www.janes.com/article/62776/india-to-acquire-three-admiral-grigorovich-class-frigates-from-russia|newspaper=IHS Jane's Defence Weekly|access-date=5 August 2016|date=4 August 2016}}</ref> Indian Navy has already inducted six of these ships in two batches while 4 more ships with two built by [[Yantar Shipyard]] (Russia) and [[Goa Shipyard]] (India) each.
