INS Ranvir (D54), a variant of Soviet Kashin-class destroyers exported to India. Rajput-class destroyers were built in late 70's and early 80's at 61 Kommunara Shipbuilding Plant, in Mykolaiv, Ukrainian SSR.
In the 2000's the SSM P-15 Termit (NATO Code SS-N-2D Styx) was replaced by BrahMos, a SSM jointly developed by India and Russia. New sensors and combat data systems were also installed. In some ships, the rear twin-arm launcher for SAM M-1 Volna (NATO Code SA-N-1 Goa) was replaced by 2 x 8-cell VLS for Israeli Barak SAM or by the locally developed VL-SRSAM. Additionally, in some ships, the AK-726 twin 76 mm gun was replaced by OTO Melara 76 mm single gun and INS Rana was fitted with the locally developed ballistic tactical missile Dhanush.
Rajput-class has five ships:
· INS Rajput (D51) - commissioned in 1980 and decommissioned in 2021
· INS Rana (D52) - commissioned in 1982 and still active
· INS Ranjit (D53) - commissioned in 1983 and decommissioned in 2019
· INS Ranvir (D54) - commissioned in 1986 and still active
· INS Ranvijay (D55) - commissioned in 1987 and still active

Brasil
This is the Rio Grande do Norte D37, a formidable player in the Brazilian Navy's fleet and part of the Pará-class destroyers. Originally commissioned as a Fletcher-class destroyer by the U.S. Navy during World War II, the vessel was transferred to Brazil in the 1950s and renamed after one of Brazil’s states. As Rio Grande do Norte, she continued her service with a renewed spirit, patrolling Brazilian waters and projecting naval power in the South Atlantic.

Netherlands
Good lookin' Royal Netherlands Navy 'Van Speijk Klasse' (Class) Frigate Zr. Ms. Van Speijk F802, she was 1 of a total of 6 which served from 1967 till 1990. She and 2 others were build by the Nederlandse Dok- & Scheepsbouw Maatschappij (NDSM) (Dutch Dock- & Shipyard Company) in Amsterdam and the other 3 by the Royal Netherlands Shipyard 'De Schelde' in Vlissingen.. the design was for a large part taken from the Royal British Navy Leanderclass Type 12... the Dutch sisterships were slightly smaller, bud had a wider navigation brigde what gave a better view to the vessels' front and back. The Dutch variants were easily recognizable because of the Dutch Radar Systems and had different Weapon Systems. This vessel was sold in 1986 to the Indonesian Navy from then on they renamed her KRI Slamet Riyadi 352. She was in active duty until 2019. Last year July 31 2023 she was sunk by the Indonesian Navy during the Indonesian National Armed Forces's Joint Exercise 2023 after being decommissioned in 2019. The Indonesian Navy commissioned the vessel in 1986 after buying it from the Dutch Government.
