'''''Nicobar''-class troopships''' are large multi-role [[troopship]]s converted from [[merchant ship]]s which were originally ordered by the [[Ministry of Shipping (India)|Ministry of Shipping]] for service with the [[Shipping Corporation of India]]. These were later acquired by the [[Indian Navy]] for troop transport duties. The ships include large [[davit]]s for [[Landing Craft Vehicle Personnel]] (LCVP) and also feature high bridge forward, funnel in the [[aft]] and a helicopter platform at the [[stern]]. This makes the vessels suitable for general purpose roles, other than just troop transport. The design of the Type B-561 ships built by [[Szczecin Shipyard]] of [[Poland]] was also sold to India for licensed construction.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Nicobar Class|url=http://www.bharat-rakshak.com/NAVY/Ships/Active/156-Nicobar-Class.html}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|title=Nicobar Class Transport Ship|url=http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/world/india/ap-nicobar.htm}}</ref><ref>{{Cite book|title=Defense & Foreign Affairs Handbook|year = 2002|isbn = 9781892998064|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=7OI-AQAAIAAJ&q=nicobar+class+troop+ship}}</ref> | '''''Nicobar''-class troopships''' are large multi-role [[troopship]]s converted from [[merchant ship]]s which were originally ordered by the [[Ministry of Shipping (India)|Ministry of Shipping]] for service with the [[Shipping Corporation of India]].
