Kaliningrad (Russia), Nov 18 (RIA Novosti) A Russian shipyard will float out the first of three frigates for the Indian Navy Nov 27, a company spokesman said.

The Yantar shipyard in Russia’s Baltic exclave of Kaliningrad is building three modified Krivak III class (also known as Talwar class) guided missile frigates for the Indian Navy under a $1.6 billion contract signed in July 2006.

The frigate is due to be floated out Nov 27, Sergei Mikhailov said Tuesday. He said sea trials would not start right away because post-construction work was still to be carried out. The trials should start in 2010, he added.
