INS Rajput is a guided-missile destroyer and the lead ship of the Template:Sclass- of the Indian Navy. She was commissioned on 30 September 1980. Commodore (later Vice Admiral) Gulab Mohanlal Hiranandani was her first commanding officer.
Rajput served as a trial platform for the BrahMos cruise missile. The two P-20M inclined single launchers (port and starboard) were replaced by two boxed launchers, each with two Brahmos cells. A new variant of the Prithvi-III missile was test fired from Rajput on March 2007.[2] She is capable of attacking land targets, as well as fulfilling anti-aircraft and anti-submarine roles as a taskforce or carrier escort.[3] Rajput tracked the Dhanush ballistic missile during a successful test in 2005.[4]
