==History==
[[File:HMIS Kistna launching 1943 IWM A 16059.jpg|thumb|left|{{center|''Kistna'' being launched on 22 April 1943}}]]
HMIS ''Kistna'' was ordered under the 1940 Build Programme on 10 September 1941. She was built by [[Yarrow Shipbuilders|Yarrow (Shipbuilders), Limited]] and commissioned in 1943.

With World War II underway, she was soon deployed for convoy escort duties between the [[United Kingdom|UK]] and [[West Africa]]. In November 1943, while escorting a convoy to [[Liverpool]], the convoy was sighted by German aircraft. [[Wolfpack Schill]] was formed to attack the convoy, which was repelled by the escorts, including HMIS ''Kistna''. {{HMS|Chanticleer|U05}} was hit by a [[torpedo]] and took major damage in the attack. A mercantile vessel being escorted was sunk and another damaged by German aircraft with [[Hs 293]] [[glider bomb]]s.

HMIS ''Kistna'' was transferred to the Eastern Fleet and continued to escort convoys en route to [[Bombay]]. In the Eastern Fleet it continued escort duties in the [[Persian Gulf]], the [[Bay of Bengal]] and the [[Indian Ocean]]. It supported military operations by the [[British Indian Army]] and the [[British Army]] in [[Burma]].

In December 1944, she joined a task force with HMIS ''Jumna'', {{HMIS|Narbada|U40}} and {{HMS|Flamingo|L18}} to support the advance by the Indian Division down the Mayu peninsula in Burma as a part of [[Operation Romulus]].

In January 1945, HMIS ''Kistna'' with {{HMS|Phoebe|43}}, {{HMS|Rapid|H32}} and HMS ''Flamingo'', supported the amphibious landings of the Indian 71st Division and the British 4th Division on [[Ramree Island]] in Burma, as a part of [[Operation Matador (1945)|Operation Matador]]. It continued to provide naval gunfire support as a part of the operation.

After a refit in Bombay, in April 1945, she was part of the amphibious assault group for the Indian 26th Division on [[Rangoon]] during [[Operation Dracula]]. Other members of this assault group included {{HMIS|Cauvery|U10}}, {{HMIS|Godavari|U52}}, {{HMIS|Narbada}}, {{HMIS|Sutlej|U95}} and {{HMIS|Hindustan}}.

In July, ''Kistna'' was deployed for minesweeping operations to the [[Malacca Straits]] during [[Operation Collie]]. In August, she conducted preparatory exercises to participate in [[Operation Zipper]] to recapture [[British Malaya|Malaya]].

At the end of World War II, ''Kistna'' was in [[Penang]] during the Japanese surrender there.

After India's independence, she was commissioned into the Indian Navy as '''INS ''Krisna'''''. She was a part of the 12th Frigate Squadron, before being used for training purposes. She was decommissioned in 1981 and scrapped.<ref name=nh>http://www.naval-history.net/xGM-Chrono-18SL-Kistna.htm</ref>
