INS Chennai has on her seal a Bull symbolising the [[Jallikattu]] festival celebrated in [[Tamil Nadu]] from where the ship associates its heritage.

==Construction==
She was [[Keel laying|laid down]] in February 2006, and was [[Ship naming and launching|launched]] on 2 April 2010 by the then [[Ministry of Defence (India)|Defence Minister]] [[A. K. Antony|AK Antony]]'s wife Elizabeth Antony at a function in [[Mumbai]], and was commissioned on 21 November 2016 by the [[Minister of Defence (India)|Indian Defence Minister]] [[Manohar Parrikar]].<ref name="press release INS Chennai joins Navy"/><ref name="ssbinterviewtips">{{cite web|title=Warship INS Chennai commissioned by Indian Navy|url=http://www.ssbinterviewtips.in/warship-ins-chennai-commissioned-by-indian-navy/631|publisher=SSB Interview Tips|access-date=21 November 2016}}</ref> INS ''Chennai'' is the first naval ship named after [[Chennai]], capital city of the state of [[Tamil Nadu]], [[India]].<ref name="pib">{{cite web|title=Project 15-A destroyer, INS Kochi To be launched on 18 Sep 2009|url=http://www.pib.nic.in/newsite/erelease.aspx?relid=52673|publisher=PIB|access-date=16 June 2013}}</ref>

==Features==
The India-designed ship is designed to have state of the art weapons and sensors, stealth features, an advanced action information system, a comprehensive auxiliary control system, world class modular living spaces, sophisticated power distribution system and a host of other advanced features. These ships integrate many new features and involve design changes that ensure a far more advanced weapons platforms compared to the earlier Project 15 ships.

The ship's air defence capability, designed to counter the threat of enemy aircraft and [[Anti-ship missile|anti-ship cruise missile]]s, revolve around the vertical launch, long range surface-to-air missile system, co-developed by [[Defence Research and Development Organisation|DRDO]].

Four [[AK-630]] rapid-fire guns will provide the ship with close-in-defence capability while an MR gun will enable her to provide effective naval gunfire support.

India-developed twin tube torpedo launchers and rocket launchers will add punch to the ship's anti-submarine capability.

INS ''Chennai'' is designed to carry the supersonic [[BrahMos]] surface-to-surface missile system. The system enables the ship to engage shore-based and naval surface targets at long range making it a lethal platform for strike against enemy targets.

===Cooperative Engagement Capability===
On 15 May 2019, [[INS Chennai]] along with [[INS Kochi]] participated in the maiden [[Cooperative Engagement Capability|cooperative engagement firing]] through the employment of the full Joint Taskforce Coordination (JTC) mode which implements the [[Barak 8|MRSAM / Barak 8]] 'Cooperative Engagement' operating mode.<ref>http://pib.nic.in/PressReleseDetail.aspx?PRID=1572157&RegID=3&LID=1</ref><ref>https://defense-update.com/20190517_indian-navy-demonstrates-mrsam-cooperative-engagement-capability.html</ref><ref>https://www.navalnews.com/naval-news/2019/05/indian-navy-completes-mrsam-first-cooperative-engagement-firing-test/</ref><ref>https://www.janes.com/article/88673/indian-navy-demonstrates-co-operative-engagement-firing-capability</ref>

==Notable Deployments==
INS Chennai, along with [[INS Sunayna]] was sent to the [[Persian Gulf]] and [[Gulf of Oman]] in June 2019 to protect Indian shipping interests amid tensions in the [[Strait of Hormuz]].<ref>https://news.yahoo.com/india-warships-sent-strategic-gulf-waters-navy-184136054.html</ref>
