INS Chamak (K95) (Glitter)[3] was the lead vessel of her class of fast attack craft of the Indian Navy.[2][4][5][6] The INS Chamak was first constructed throughout the 1970s, it had a displacement of 245 tons with its full load and measured about 38.6m long, it had a speed of over 37+ kts.

The INS Chamak was fully decommissioned on 5 May 2005 and was towed/sailed to Pune as a museum ship. INS Chamak was designed to be a modified version of the Project 205 Moskit-Class (Osa-class missile boats) of the Soviet Navy.

Armaments

The INS Chamak was armed with a standard AK-230 30mm gun, commonly used as a sea-gun piece for typically less armored and less capable of open sea deployment vessels, it was armed with the SA-N-5 SAM system modified to be capable of sea-type deployment, and the SS-N-2A Styx (NATO Reporting Name: P-15 Termit) used for anti-ship deployments commonly used on weaker vessels, such as frigates and corvettes.
