The extensive scope of redesign and re-engineering for these vessels has realised a multipurpose surface combatant of about 4,000 ton displacement (this increase being attributed to additional weapon systems and the replacement of light alloys with steel), tailored to meet the Indian Navy's specific mission and performance requirements.

Book review of Downwind, Four Green, the history of the Hawker Sea Hawk in Indian Navy Service . "This level of detail was previously seen only in books bought out in the west, especially by authors in Great Britain. That an Indian Author had attempted this amount of detail is not only commendable but worth emulating over and over again.  If more Indian authors follow this example, then the British are going to have tough competition in their aircraft histories!."
