'''INS ''Aditya'' (A59)''' is an [[Aditya class|''Aditya'' class]] [[Replenishment oiler|replenishment]] and [[Auxiliary ship|repair ship]] currently in service with the [[Indian Navy]]. The ship was launched on 15 November 1993<ref>{{csr|register=MSI|id=8609656|shipname=Aditya|accessdate=27 October 2019}}</ref> and commissioned on 3 April 2000.

INS ''Aditya'' is a fully air-conditioned and lengthened version of the original [[Deepak-class oiler|Deepak class]], but with a multipurpose workshop and with four RAS (Replenishment At Sea) stations alongside. The ship was built at [[Garden Reach Shipbuilders and Engineers]] (GRSE). Building progress was very slow and the ship was plagued by [[Marine propulsion|propulsion]] problems, during her sea trials in September 1999.

== Description ==
The ship has a cargo capacity of 2250 m³ water, 2170 m³ ammunition and stores and 14,200 m³ diesel and aviation kerosene. The ship can carry 12,000 tons of liquid cargo, comprising LSHSD, [[Jet fuel|aviation kerosene]], distilled & fresh water and 5000 tons of solid cargo. The ship features a Hallapa deck and Canadian Hepburn RAS (Replenishment At Sea) equipment. Aditya is also equipped with a 2-ton heavy jackstay and a 20-ton crane. It can replenish four warships & one rotor aircraft simultaneously and was designed to be able to serve as command and control platform. It can refuel at the maximum rate of 600 tonnes per hour.<ref name=sify21j>{{cite news|title=Indian Navy strengthens far-reaching capability|url=http://www.sify.com/finance/indian-navy-strenghtens-far-reaching-capability-news-default-lbvr4qjfaaj.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110125111851/http://www.sify.com/finance/indian-navy-strenghtens-far-reaching-capability-news-default-lbvr4qjfaaj.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=25 January 2011|accessdate=2 February 2013|newspaper=Sify|date=21 January 2011}}</ref><ref name=gs1f>{{cite web|title=A58 Jyoti|url=http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/world/india/jyoti.htm|publisher=Global Security|accessdate=1 February 2013}}</ref>

''Aditya'' was initially armed with light and medium machine guns. The self-defence capability was added by installing new close-in weapons like anti-aircraft and anti-missile guns and missiles. Even though it is smaller than {{INS|Jyoti|A58}}, it has more advanced capabilities. It carries a helicopter as compared to only a helicopter deck of ''Jyoti''.<ref name=gs1f />

==Service history==
In 2010, INS ''Aditya'', along with three other warships of the navy - [[INS Mysore (D60)|INS ''Mysore'']], [[INS Tabar (F44)|INS ''Tabar'']] and [[INS Ganga (F22)|INS ''Ganga'']], were deployed to [[South Africa]] and took part in the 2nd IBSAMAR, the joint exercise of the navies of [[India]], [[Brazil]] and [[South Africa]]. A total of 11 warships took part in the exercise, which was conducted off the coast of [[Durban]] from 13 to 27 September.<ref name=pib1f>{{cite web|title=Navy Stamps blue Water Presence Across IOR, bolsters Capacity with Induction of MIG-29k, INS Shivalik|url=http://pib.nic.in/newsite/erelease.aspx?relid=68744|work=Year-end Review – 2010 Indian Navy|publisher=Press Information Bureau|accessdate=1 February 2013}}</ref>
