'''INS ''Mysore''''' was a {{sclass|Fiji|cruiser}} commissioned in the [[Indian Navy]] in 1957. She was acquired from the [[Royal Navy]], where she served in [[World War II]] as {{HMS|Nigeria|60|6}}.

''Mysore'' was the second cruiser to be purchased by independent [[India]]. She was commissioned into the Indian Navy in August 1957. The crest for ''Mysore'' depicted the mythological double-headed eagle [[Gandaberunda]] from the coat of arms of the former [[Mysore state]]. The ship's motto ''Na bibheti kadachana'' was taken from the [[Taittiriya Upanishad]].

==Operational history==

In 1959, ''Mysore'' rammed the Royal Navy [[destroyer]] {{HMS|Hogue|D74|2}}, severely damaging ''Hogue''{{'}}s bow.<ref name="navhist">Mason, Geoffrey B. (2004), [http://www.naval-history.net/xGM-Chrono-10DD-75Battle-Hogue.htm Service History of Royal Navy warships in World War 2: HMS HOGUE (H.74) - Battle-class Destroyer], naval-history.net. Retrieved 31 August 2010.</ref> In 1969, she collided with the destroyer ''Rana'' resulting in the latter being decommissioned and again in 1972 with the frigate ''Beas''. ''Mysore'' served as a crucible of training. On her several Indian naval officers earned their stripes as her successive commanding officers. In 1971 she served as the flagship of the [[Western Fleet (India)|Western Fleet]] of the [[Indian Navy]] and commanded the [[Operation Trident (1971)|missile attack on Karachi harbour]] in December 1971. Later in her life from 1975 onwards ''Mysore'' served as a training cruiser for naval cadets.

''Mysore'' was decommissioned on 20 August 1985 and scrapped.

==In popular culture==
''Mysore'' appears in the 2016 [[Bollywood]] movie ''[[Rustom (film)|Rustom]]'', which was based loosely on the popular ''[[K. M. Nanavati v. State of Maharashtra]]'' case of the 1960s.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Unnithan |first1=Sandeep |title=Why Rustom gets the Navy uniform and pretty much everything wrong |url=https://www.indiatoday.in/movies/standpoint/story/rustom-akshay-kumar-navy-uniform-wrong-mistakes-flaws-story-335471-2016-08-16 |access-date=19 September 2020 |work=India Today |date=16 August 2016 |language=en}}</ref>
