Template:Short description {{#invoke:Hatnote|hatnote}}{{#ifeq:||}} Template:Use British English Template:Use dmy dates This is a list of ships of the Indian Navy. It covers both the pre-independence era when India was a british colony and ships were designated as HMIS / Royal Indian Navy<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> and in the post-independence republic era as Indian Navy with designation of INS.

Historical ships

Note: Prior to 1950, Indian naval ships carried the prefix HMIS ("His Majesty's Indian Ship") as the Indian Armed Forces were under the British Crown. After the declaration of the Republic of India on 26 January 1950, the prefix became INS ("Indian Naval Ship").
