Rajshree (Flight II)

The Rajshree (Flight II) class are Fast Patrol Vessels (FPVs) operated by the Indian Coast Guard, designed for coastal surveillance, anti-smuggling, and search and rescue missions. These vessels are equipped with a 30mm CRN-91 naval gun and advanced navigation systems.

Developed by Garden Reach Shipbuilders & Engineers (GRSE) to bolster India's coastal security infrastructure in the wake of heightened maritime threats, the Flight II variant was ordered as a follow-on batch to replace aging patrol assets. The first vessel of this upgraded class, ICGS Priyadarshini, was commissioned into the Indian Coast Guard in April 2019, with subsequent sister ships entering service through 2020. Since their induction, these vessels have been extensively deployed along India's vast coastline for Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) patrols, fisheries protection, and humanitarian assistance during severe cyclonic storms in the Bay of Bengal. Today, the entire Flight II fleet remains in active service, representing a successful milestone in India's indigenous shipbuilding initiative and significantly enhancing the nation's near-shore defense capabilities.
