INS Andamans is a -class troopship. These large multi-role troop ships were converted from merchant ships which were originally ordered by the Ministry of Shipping for service with the Shipping Corporation of India that were later acquired by the Indian Navy for troop transport duties. The ship has large davits for Landing Craft Vehicle Personnel (LCVP) and also features a high bridge forward, funnel in the aft, and a helicopter platform at the stern. This makes the vessel suitable for general purpose roles, other than just troop transport.[2][3] INS Andamans should not be confused with INS Andaman (P74), the -class frigate that was lost in the Bay of Bengal in 1990 during a naval exercise,[4] which were designated as -class corvettes in Indian Navy due to their small size.
