The '''''Sukanya''-class patrol vessels''' are large, offshore patrol craft in active service with the [[Indian Navy]]. Three lead ships were built by Korea Tacoma, now part of [[Hanjin|Hanjin Group]]. Vessels of the ''Sukanya'' class are named after notable women from Indian epics.

==Description==
The ''Sukanya'' class have large hulls, although they are lightly armed since they are utilized primarily for offshore patrol of India's [[exclusive economic zone]]. However, they are capable of being heavily armed and upgraded to light frigates should the need arise. Two vessels of the class, {{ship|INS|Subhadra|P51|2}} and {{ship|INS|Suvarna|P52|2}} have been used as test beds for installation of the [[Dhanush (missile)|Dhanush ship-based ballistic missile]] launch system. This includes the stabilization platform for enabling the ships to launch the missiles in stormy conditions.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2006-08-22/india/27816313_1_prithvi-ii-missile-squadrons-ins-subhadra |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121016193331/http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2006-08-22/india/27816313_1_prithvi-ii-missile-squadrons-ins-subhadra |url-status=dead |archive-date=16 October 2012 |title=Navy, IAF induct Prithvi |newspaper=[[The Times of India]] |first=Rajat

{{ship|INS|Sarayu|P54|2}} was sold to [[Sri Lanka]] and renamed {{ship|SLNS|Sayura}}. She was the former [[flagship]] of the [[Sri Lanka Navy]] and obtained several remarkable naval victories against the naval branch ([[Sea Tigers]]) of the [[Tamil Tiger]] rebels.
