Read full ship history

Designed and built in Great Britain, the Black Swan-class sloops were primarily purposed for convoy protection. Several ships in the series were ordered specifically for the needs of the Royal Indian Navy. Sutlej, having started her service amid World War II, actively participated in military operations in the waters of the Mediterranean and Indian Ocean, including amphibious engagements in Sicily and Burma. Following India's independence, the ship became part of the Indian Navy, serving until the late 1970s.
