Indian Project Project 15B (upgraded Project 15A) Quoted from Wikipedia... Project 15B (upgraded Project 15A) In January 2011, the Cabinet Committee for Security gave approval for four more destroyers under Project 15B.

Project 15B differs from Project 15A because of the flush deck. The flush deck improves stealth as it is smoother with less angles and corners. The displacement of each Project 15B will be approximately 7,000 tonnes. As with most Indian design, th…
