The Abhay-class corvettes of the Indian Navy are the customised variants of the Soviet Pauk-class corvettes. The class was primarily intended for coastal patrol and anti-submarine warfare. The last ship of the class is expected to be decommissioned by 2025. The class is being replaced by Arnala-class and Mahe-class of Anti-Submarine Warfare Shallow Water Craft (ASW SWC).[3][4] The ships formed the 23 Patrol Vessel Squadron of the Indian Navy.[5][6]
